Four Months Old

Grant is four months old today. I’m not quite sure my momma heart can take that my oldest baby was seven yesterday and my little baby is four months old today on the same weekend! Time just needs to slow down!!

 

• You are still the happiest baby on the block!
• You love to be held.
• You nurse in the morning before school and before bed. Sometimes you are hungry when you come home and nurse then, too. At school you have three 5oz bottles during the day. On the weekends, you nurse pretty much just on demand, but usually about five times a day.
• You still love to sleep and take two several hour naps on the weekend.
• You are sleeping better at school, but still not as good as at home. You typically want a cat nap in the evening.
• You have pretty much outgrown your 3 month clothes but I’m not buying any 6 month clothes for warmer months so we’ll just have to make it work a few days more.
• You are still being squeezed into Size 1 diapers until we can finish the box we are in, but you wear Size 2 for bed.
• You probably weigh around 16/17 lbs I’m guessing? You have your four month check up on Tuesday so we’ll know then. I’m also curious to see how long you are!
• You can roll from back to tummy and tummy to back.
• You are starting to hold toys.
• You are cooing and you mimic noises.
• You laugh out loud and it is the most adorable thing ever!
• You go to sleep around 7:00-7:30 and sleep until around 6:30 because that’s when we have to get up to get you fed and ready for school.
• You love laying on your play mat both at home and at school.
• They say you love to lay in your bed and look at yourself in the mirror in your bed at school.
• You are busting out of your swaddle at night time and have rolled over to your belly to go back to sleep a few times.
• You LOVE to suck on your fingers. They are in your mouth constantly but you don’t care much for a paci.
• You have started sitting your Bumbo seat and seem to enjoy looking around.
• You have started grabbing at your feet.
• You are pretty much the yummiest baby, ever!

I love all you are learning right now and it’s fun to see your personality coming out. I cannot wait to see how much more you grow and change this next month! Love you baby boy!!!
