4 Months Old

Our little guy is already 4 months old and getting SO big!!!


His stats are as follows: Weight:15#1 oz (50%), Length:26 1/4" (90%), Head Circumference:16 1/2 (25-50%). He has remained very consistent from birth with his percentiles.

We are still discovering his personality but when he is happy he is very happy and when he is not he definitely lets you know it. He is very smiley and has an adorable laugh which often comes out as a squeal. He is finally sleeping SO much better (which is GREAT for all of us!). I guess we are somewhat to blame b/c for 4 out of the past 5 weeks we were traveling and Micah had no schedule whatesoever. However since we've been home and gotten him back on a schedule he has been napping and sleeping great. He takes 3 naps/day that are usually 1-1 1/2 hours long and at night he sleeps for about 8-9 hours then eats and sleeps for 2 more. The only bad part is that the 8-9 hour stretch falls at about 4 am but he will usually go right back down and sleep until 6:30ish. He is in such a happy mood when he wakes up in the morning. He loves to lay in our bed and laugh, talk, play, kick, etc. So cute! We still swaddle him for naps and bedtime as he sleeps so much better. Actually he can break out of his miracle blanket, so we swaddle him and then put him in his Halo Sleep Sack. Poor baby looks like he is missing his arms, but hey, it works!

He isn't rolling over yet but I think he is getting close as he can get himself on his side. He sits up pretty well with light support so I am sure that isn't far off either. He is also fascinated with his hands and feet and likes to "eat" his fist.

Sitting up like a big boy...








Below are some pics of things Micah loves. He has a circuit consisting of his swing, bumbo seat, boppy seat, play mat, and exersaucer. He will usually have fun for a short period of time in each of these activities and then all he wants to do is be held. By far he still is happiest when he is being held. He also still LOVES his bath!!! I wish it wasn't so hot here in Phoenix b/c think he would really like the pool. He also had his first ocean experience as we were in FL recently.















We attempted cereal for the first time but as you can see Micah wanted nothing to do with it. He was more interested in eating his bib. I actually tried cereal again but couldn't even get his bib on without Micah screaming. Oh well....we'll try again in week or so.
