G is 4 months!

As I mentioned in yesterday's post...time has been getting away from me.  Sweet little G is now four months old and isn't so little anymore.  We had his well child visit yesterday and what a big boy he's turning into.  He now weighs 15.9 lbs (66%) and is 25.5 inches long (75%).  In fact, he had to be remeasured for his height because our doctor was surprised that he would have grown 3 inches in two months.  Paul and I were talking about the fact that he would have been in the 96th percentile for height and we were both surprised by that number! 


Stats on the munchkin -
- Sleeps through the night on most nights.  He will sometimes wake once or twice around 2 or 5, but will go back to bed.  He tends to wake around 6 or 6:30.  On the rare occasion he will sleep until past 7. He has been falling asleep between 6 and 7.
- There are days when he naps really well and others when we can't get him to sleep more than 5-10 minutes at a time.
- Still a breast milk only baby.  He hasn't touched a drop of formula...and I'm PROUD of that!
- G loves to smile and laugh daily, whether it's at his Mom and Dad, or at his brother.
- Drools all the time since he can't seem to take his hands out of his mouth.
- Puts everything that he can grab into his mouth.
- Reaches for objects.
- Tracks your movement.
- Rolled onto his side on a flat surface for the first time at his doctor's appointment.
- Rolls from tummy to back sometimes.
- Can hold his head up really well during tummy time and for longer stretches.
- Can Houdini himself out of his swaddle blanket
- Takes a pacifier
- Poops about once a week.  But when he does...WATCH OUT!
- Allows himself to be attacked (affectionately) by his brother.  I guess he really can't move away even if he wants to.
- Wears size 2 diapers and 6 month clothes, but is starting to outgrow some of the footie pajamas.
- Is enamored by the ceiling fans.
- Has the best laugh (just like his brother).






Happy 4 months, kiddo!
