4 months old

I realize we are a week late on this post, but the doctor wanted to delay his shots until the whole flu thing was better. I knew I wouldn't be "on top of things" enough to do two posts, so I just waited. Here are his pictures that were actually taken on his 4th month birthday.




  • weights 12.3 pounds, 1st%
  • head circumference is also in the 1st%
  • is 24.5 inches long, 8th%
  • eats every 2 hours during the day, occasionally going 3 in the middle of the day
  • will now be getting formula at night before bed and then again when he wakes up to eat
  • will not put himself to sleep, and "cries it out" for well over 2 hours, so we are waiting until he's a little bigger to try again (drs advice)
  • he constantly has his hands in his mouth, or whatever else is around
  • reaches for things he wants (especially if he wants them in his mouth!)
  • smiles a lot, especially for his sister
  • squeals
  • babbles constantly, and loudly
  • rolls over from front to back, but hasn't made any motion to go the other way
  • finally can ride in the car seat without screaming (at least 80% of the time)
  • loves to stand up (with support of course)
  • adores his sister, and the dog
  • sleeps around 30-45 minutes a day
  • is general in a good mood all day, despite lack of sleep
  • gets up multiple times a night (although only eats around 2:45)
  • wears a size 1 diaper still
  • wears 0-3 months clothes, and some 3 month clothes
  • likes to be held, doesn't much like to be put down
  • his hairs is getting kind of fuzzy, so hopefully it's on the way!
  • likes to hear books and listen to Mommy and Hannah sing
