Christopher turned 4 months last Friday and we had his check up today (4mo 5days). He still hates shots but was all smiles during the check up. He has been cleared for rice cereal and if that goes well after 1-2 weeks then we can start fruits/veggie baby food. The dr was happy with his growth and development. He had a little flat spot on the back/side of his head so we will work on that and keep him off his back. He still has the little bubble under his tongue but the dr isn't concerned unless it gets bigger.
Weight: 15lb 6oz (57%)
Height: 26 inches (82%)
Head: 17.1in (79%)
Christopher lately:
- he prefers his back
- loves putting everything in his mouth
- is getting good at putting his paci in his mouth if u hand it to him and it's within reach
- can roll from his tummy to back and also rolls like crazy to his side
- he can turn 360 degrees while shimming on his back
- he loves standing up when being held and is super alert
- he is pretty happy unless he is hungry
- he nurses every 3ish hours during the day and we just started giving him a bottle before bed
- his naps are getting more routine, sleeps after he has been awake for 2ish hours and I try to put him down in his crib
- he will always fall asleep on the boppy pillow though if he gets the chance
- he watches and smiles at mason constantly and thinks his big brother is pretty funny
- if the tv is on and he is on his playmat he will try to shimmy his way so he can watch comfortably
- he has lots of pops and just started to drool a bit
- bedtime/nap: we don't swaddle anymore and try to put him in his crib drowsy. He is usually down by 8 (after Mikael gives him a bottle) and wakes up a few times during the night wanting his paci. He typically wakes up around 4-5am to nurse and then goes back down for 2+ hrs. His nap length is very inconsistent but he does nap in the am, afternoon and early evening.
- when he gets a bottle he will drink anywhere from 3-7oz
- he still loves bath time (every few days) but has super dry skin
- he is full of giggles and is so much fun to play with
