Our big boy has really been changing lately. He has become so alert and enjoys observing his surroundings. He is our calm child (so far). Rhett is super easy to get to smile right now and is full of coos and belly laughs. Here are some boring stats for this month, the best part (photos) are at the end:
- 19 lbs 12 ounces
Appearance
- Eyes are pretty much brown
- Thin hair but new growth
- Eyebrows are getting darker
- Very rolly
Diaper size: 3
Clothing size: 9-12 months (and they are getting snug)
Discoveries:
- Getting good at grabbing things and putting them in his mouth
- Sucks his bottom lip
- Fingers are his favorite chew toy!
- Found his feet
- Rolled from back to belly
- Enjoys trying to sit up
- jumparoo lover
- Belly laughs at Caleb (he has belly laughed a few times when c got hurt, he gets this trait from daddy)
Naps
- Normally takes a morning, mid day, and afternoon one-- likes to have a heavy blanket while sleeping
- Paci is hit or miss
Eat
- Still eating 4-6 ounces of breast milk/formula every 2.5-3 hours. I decided to quit nursing due to some health issues I've been having. It was very bittersweet, but R has handled it way better than I expected.
- Eats baby food 1-2 times a day.
- Finally less spit up!
Night night
- Goes to bed around 8.
- Random pattern of sleep at the beginning of this month.
- Doesn't sleep as soundly as he did the first 3 months. Once starting baby food, he has gone longer spells again (praise God)
- Started sleeping in his own crib (as of last night)
Tummy time-
- head is getting very strong.
- Can roll to his back (but very selective about when he does this)
Bath time-
- He outgrew his infant tub
- Now he bathes in our big tub with an inch or two of water.
- He enjoys kicking and splashing himself.
Happenings:
Christmas- we celebrated Christmas with Daniels family then went to jacksonville and celebrated with mine. The boys got tons of gifts and we had a good visit. Rhett had his fist head cold during this time which made him somewhat difficult.
Christmas break- I got two straight weeks off with the boys! This time was awesome.
First head cold- looong two weeks of not sleeping well and a crunchy cough that lingered.
4 month apt- 95th percentile all the way around, ha! Dr. B decided Rhett needed his tongue clipped. We made an apt with ent to get it clipped and the doctor said he will need to be put under anesthia, we've decided to wait and get a second opinion in a few months.
Friends came to visit- we had a play date with some friends from school! R was in a great mood the whole night and watched the "big kids" run round and round.
Caleb's birthday- we had a very small celebration this year, R enjoyed watching all the cousins play.
