You are four months old today! A year ago at this time Luke and I were staying with Honey in Carrollton while Daddy was on a trip for work and Grandpa was out of town. I started feeling sick on the drive to Carrollton and felt pretty awful with morning sickness and a cold during that week. I'm sure glad it's this year and not last year!
At 4 months,
you weigh 14 pounds 6 ounces.
you are spitting up frequently. :( You love to be in the Bjorn, so I wear you a lot that way, but I just have to accept that we will both have spit up on us as a result.
you are being weaned off your pacifier while sleeping. I haven't been feeding you at night for almost 4 weeks now, but you were still waking up frequently and the pacifier was helping you sleep. Of course the problem with that is when the pacifier falls out of your mouth and you wake up needing it again. So, for the past 4 nights I haven't given it to you. We have had to endure some crying, but last night you didn't make a peep between 9:30pm and 6am this morning. And even then you fell back asleep until 7am. I'm so thankful and praying this just continues and gets even better. I have been way too tired the last several weeks!
you drank a 6.5 ounce bottle last night and are moving from a 3 hour eating cycle to more of a 3.5 hour cycle during the day.
you are wearing 6, 9, and 12 month clothes.
you do 30-45 minutes of tummy time a day and spend a lot of time sitting in your bumbo. You really like to watch Luke play. I guess that's a benefit of being a second child. :)
we have started to read a book to you before bed and you LOVE it. I felt bad we didn't start this with you as early as with Luke, but now it's part of our short bedtime routine. You smile, lock eyes with the pages and kick your legs around excitedly when we lay on the floor and read.
you like to roll over to your side when you're on your back, but haven't quite mastered rolling onto your tummy yet.
you have new hair growing in on top of your head and a bald spot on the back of your head.
you like to listen to Daddy play the guitar for you and Luke.
We love you and are so thankful you're in our family!
Love,
Mommy
