4-Month Update!

It's been 4 months!  Where has the time gone?  At first I was counting down the days to when you would sleep through the night, and now four months later I've gone back to work and you still wake up about 1-2 times in the night.  But honestly, I'm happy to have survived the first few months of sleepless nights.  1-2 times in the night?  Piece of cake!

Ma-TAY-to's 4 Month Tidbits:

You weighed 17lbs at your 4 month check-in!

I put you in a Carter's 9 MONTH one-sie the other day... fit you like a glove...  9 months!

You're above the 90's percentile for weight, height, and length

You go to sleep around 9 pm and wake around 7 am (with a couple wakes in between)

You like to grasp things and prefer to put cloth toys vs. hard toys in your mouth

You flirt...  look directly in people's eyes and smile your dimpl-y smile

You have a proud smile on your face when you bear your own weight on your legs

You prefer being in a carrier vs. a stroller (which is opposite of what Mama likes)

Your warning-cry sounds more like you're chuckling to yourself (then you start to wail!)

You love when people play with your feet

You love watching your big brother at play

Sometimes you fall asleep crying; like when Mama puts you in the crib to cook dinner

You're not sure what to make of wind (you take a deep breath and tense up when a gust blows)

You suck your hand and Mama wonders if this is a sign for future thumb-sucking

You are not the best car-baby.  Aren't babies supposed to fall asleep in cars?  Not you!
You're much more tolerant of bath time than your brother was!

4 Month Old Ladies Man

I'm serious--he's a ladies man. I joked about it in a previous post, but it's just so apparent now. He's surrounded by the ladies. He's either going to be a ladies' man or swing the other way, but either way, he's always hanging out with females.

Case in point: his Uncle Will's graduation on Saturday. This party was not intended to be the family party--that was scheduled for Sunday. Instead, it was meant to be the "friend" party where all of Uncle Will's "Boys" would be coming over, eating tacos from a rented taco truck, chugging beer on a beer-ski, and taking shots on a shot-ski.

The party was going to have a 90s theme and DD was ready with his Run DMC shirt and converse shoes. Unfortunately, it got cold and his outfit was "ruined" with an old-man sweater. But that didn't stop the ladies from coming. Little by little the babies came, until the office became a pseudo-day care. In total, 5 children (under 2 years of age) came to the party--and they were ALL girls! DD, as if sensing the number of girls around him, was on his best behavior to my amazement!



My little ladies man turned 4 months recently. He weighed in at a whopping 15 lbs., 15 oz. and measured 26 1/4 -in long! That's more than two feet tall! Tall, dark, and handsome... that's how the ladies' love him...
