4 month...

hangover?

Nope, that would be my non-sleeping booger causing all sorts of distress in our home. ;-)  Unfortunately we have resorted to lots of co-bed-sharing these past few weeks.  Some nights are better than others, but momma needs you back in your crib ASAP!!
Don't let the preciousness fool you...


Cohen,




At four months you are:

Height 25.5 inches (75%)
Weight 14 lbs 15 oz (50%)
-Growing out of small diapers into the mediums, almost out of the size 1 thirsties diapers, but now we can start trying the big diapers in our stash!  We are using up the rest of the size one disposables this week, we don't want to waste any diapers, but you will definitely be in size 2 after these handful are gone.
-Growing out of 3 month clothes but 3-6 fit you nicely.  We have a wonderful stash of footie pjs that keep your feet warm and are our go-to outfits most days.
-Still exclusively breastfed and seem to be much better on non-dairy and previcid twice daily!
Who me??

Other fun facts....

Jan 6 - rolled from front to back on his right side


You are talking and carrying on 'conversations.'  You prefer to talk with daddy and laugh with mommy.  Usually you are giggly-est on your changing table when we are changing your outfits.  I love the butterball open-mouthed laugh we get every time.  The few seconds of laughter make the long hours completely worth it!
Our family at the church blessing last week!


You've started laughing on cue.  Sometimes when we laugh, you laugh back without any tickling involved!

You notice EVERYTHING.  You are tracking people as they move across the room (especially mommy), moving ceiling fans, the puppies, and the list goes on.  Nursing has proved to be a challenge as every little thing distracts you, especially our voices and the phone.  We've tried to keep nursing sessions at home because being out and about is almost not worth the time unless its realllllly dark and quiet!

You are suuuuuuuper clingy.  To Mommy.  All. The. Time.  All the 'books' say this is normal and it should continue for a couple more weeks.  Even on your fussiest days, we can usually get a laugh out of you, so we still love you ;-)  Lets move past this fussy stage, ok?

You can:
Do pushups pretty well during tummy time

Communicate your irritation, joy, pain or boredom pretty well
Make bubbles with your saliva
Are sooo very heavy for the car seat, and still have 15 lbs to go
Chewing on your hands...constantly...and drooling
Love to bear weight on your legs.
Can hold onto a toy, it immediately goes to your mouth, but you haven't figured out how to pick it up
Can sit up with support
You've rolled ONCE from front to back, still nothing from back to front (On Jan. 6th...)

We love you booger-butt!!

Blessings,
