4 Month Update

Sleep:
At this point you are still sleeping with mommy and daddy but those days are short lived.  Some sleep training is planned for you very soon. You are being evicted from mommy and daddy's bed before you become mobile. 
Naps are about 3 times a day, The morning nap is usually for almost 2 hours in the swing, your other naps are usually about 1 hour in length and spend in your car seat or in mama's arms.   Yes, she is a sucker.

Feeding:You are still nursing every 4 hours with is fantastic.   The only down side is that you sill nurse for an hour.  Hopefully this will speed up as you get older. You nurse 4 times a day and now just nurse at night for comfort and are starting to drop the middle of the night feeding. 

Weight: 
11 lbs 3 oz at the 4 month check up

Length: 
23.5 inches

Diapers and Clothes: 
Size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes.  You're our little peanut.

Personality/Likes/Miscellaneous:
- You have discovered your hands and love to put them in your mouth.  Sometimes you have trouble trying to fit both your hand and your pacifier in your mouth and get frustrated
-  You love to smile and giggle, Especially when mama say "I"m gonna get you", or when she says your name and blows on your belly
- Favorite toy by far has to be the helium balloon that Daddy got mommy for valentines day.  Its next to the changing table and you play with it every time you are there
- The TV tends to get your attention, in particular the shows that have bright colors and lots of movement.  How can you be a couch potato already?

31 Week Update

How far along? 31 weeks

How big is baby? 3.5 lbs/16.7 inches, The size of a pineapple

Symptoms? Other than heartburn I really can't complain.  No swelling yet, knock on wood.

Sleep? Hello 5am, guess nature is just getting me ready for whats to come.

Food cravings? Apples, Pears, Plums, Yum Yum!

Movement? GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!  

Clothes?  Got the rest of my maternity clothes in, yippee.  Get to try some new combinations for fall.  So can i pull off the legging look?  They are very comfy.

What I am looking forward to? Took maternity photos this past weekend,  posted the preview the photographer gave. Love it.  Can't wait to see the other

Milestones? He is going through major brain and nerve development, along with eye development.  His irises now react to light.  All five of his senses are in working order.
