Four Months Old

Davis is sleeping 12-14 hours in a 24 hour period. He still does great at night, sleeping 6-10 hours straight. He usually goes to sleep by 2100 and will wake up by 0700 for a feed. I nurse him and then put him back in his crib where he will either go right back to sleep or will play for a while and then go back to sleep. We usually start our day by 0900. By the end of this month, we have stretched his feeds to every 2-3 hours during the day though most of the month he was still eating every 1 1/2. Although he does great at night sleeping, the naps are all over the place. Sometimes he sleeps for only 40 minutes and other times it's a couple of hours. I hope to get in a better nap routine this month. Here are tidbits about Davis this month:

• Wears 0-3 months clothes (though long sleeves are getting too short) and size 2 diaper
• At his four months appointment, weighs 12 pounds 7 ounces (8th percentile), 25 1/2 inches long (72%), and head circumference is 16 1/2 (40%)
• Constantly moving and looking around, rarely sits still
• Makes razz (buzzing) sound
• Not a big fan of his car seat
• Loves stroller rides in the neighborhood and shopping trips in the ergo (but will scream in the check out line)
• Loves bathtime
• Goes from 0-60 while awake.....he will be laughing and smiling one minute and then crying the next. The same thing happens at nap time. He will be crying one minute and then sound asleep the next.
• Ticklish under his chin. Laughs loudly

• Sits in the bumbo while we eat dinner and drools looking at our food

• Scoots all over his gym, crib, and off his blanket

This is how I find him most mornings :)

• Grasps toys and puts them straight to his mouth.....loves his bendy ball

• Loves the exersaucer,. He will bounce in it and swivel the seat all around to get to his toys, watch TV or look at us. He is not a big fan of his gym or swing anymore
