If you think time flies with your first kid, it is exponentially faster with the second. Don't blink! 4 months have come and gone and our sweet little boy is growing each day!
4 Month Favorites::
Exersaucer - Loves to sit up and can't quite use the bumbo yet, So this is the next best thing! He likes to sit in it and have Kaylee show him all the toys. He's even started to grab and spin some of the toys himself.
Stats::
Height: 24.5 inches (27th %tile)
Weight: 15.2 lbs (50th %tile)
Teeth: None, Although so much drooling and chewing lately I wouldn't be surprised if he had one brewing!
Clothes: 3 Month (3-6 Month)
He rolled over for the first time 1 day before he turned 4 months old! In an attempt to differentiate from his sister. He rolled over Back to Belly first. Still hasn't mastered belly to back. Hating tummy time doesn't help! Bad news is he rolls over now in a matter of seconds and hates to be on his belly. So we have a fun routine of flipping him over every 10 seconds just so he can roll over again!
{Grabbing}
Loves to grab toys and pull them toward him. He is the king of putting EVERYTHING in his mouth and chewing on it!
Sleeping::
{Night time}
He sleeps anywhere from 7-11 hours straight at night with the average being about 8.5 hours. The few nights he has slept all night, 11+ hours, have been glorious! Hoping he keeps it up and doesn't go through a massive regression like his sister did.
{Naps}
We are really bad about naps. He pretty much naps when and where he wants. Usually, one small nap in the AM (45 minutes) I really try to put him in his crib for this nap. His afternoon nap can typically be pretty long (2-3 hours). Usually he takes this nap in the rock and play in the front room. Kaylee is usually napping at this time as well so this is the quietest place for him. Sometimes, on a lucky day, we can squeeze a third nap out of him in the afternoon. Typically this only happens in the car! (45 minutes)
Eating::
He is still eating the Alimentium Hypoallergenic Formula. He does about 5-6 bottles during the day. He is currently hitting a growth spurt and his upped his 5 oz bottle to a 6 oz bottle and a 7 oz bottle at bedtime. He still gets up 1 time to eat in the middle of the night (2-3 am) and that bottle is about 3 oz. Occasionally he wakes up a second time in the middle of the night and gets another 3 oz bottle, but those are becoming fewer and fewer! Yay!
Misc::
Loves the car! Unlike his sister, who still at 2.5 years old HATES the car!
He is totally a morning person. Our mornings are one of my favorite times of the day. When he wakes up and his sister is still sleeping, I make my coffee and we have alone time on his play mat or my lap! He will smile and coo and talk up a storm. So cute. Definitely moments I will cherish forever! Being the second child, you don't get much one on one time with mom and dad, so I think he takes advantage of it!
He is ALMOST laughing! He does this noise that Chad says sounds like a motor starting or a frog! =) He's almost got it, it's so cute!! Can't wait for those baby belly laughs!
He LOVES his sister. She just has to walk up to him and he will start smiling! He loves when she talks to him and sings to him!
