Four months old

Four months

Height- 26.5" (95%)

Weight- 18 lbs (91%)

Nicknames- Chunk, Baby Wes, Monkey

Diapers- Size 3

Milestones- Wes has become quite the talker and giggler! He loves to babble and smile and seems to do it on a dime (Izzy was a bit more reserved). He is not interested at all in rolling over but enjoys grabbing toys and putting them in his mouth. His hands are another favorite thing to stuff in his mouth.

Rockin' tummy time

Sleep- For the most part, Wes isn't sleeping through the night. He is sick though so I can't be upset if he wakes up with all kinds of snot in his nose or because he is coughing. This month he has been waking up once during the night to eat for about 10-15 minutes and then head back to sleep. If this is the worst of the four month regression I'll take it.

Clothes- Still in 6-9 mo clothes but some are getting tight!

Eating- Wes eats 3 5oz bottles every day at daycare. On the weekends and at night he is feeding on demand. He is definitely going through longer stretches of time without eating. I think because he is used to other people feeding him bottles he will now take a bottle from me if we are out and about. I have already dropped down to two pumps at work and so far I'm staying ahead of Wes' needs (this week I have also been sick and have been trying not to eat too many Halls because they mess with my supply).

Likes- Snuggling in our arms, nursing, walks in the stroller, activity bar, vibrating chair, baths, cooing at us and hearing us talk to him, watching his sister, when we make faces at him, watching sports on tv (when we watched the Cubs or football this past month he was dialed into the tv)

Dislikes- When we use the bulb syringe to suck snot out of his nose, not feeding him fast enough. He really is a happy, chill baby these days.

Illness- First daycare cold caught soon after starting school. His clogged tear duct thankfully went away earlier in the month.

Other firsts- First day at daycare and first daycare picture photo shoot. Watching the World Series and the Cubs win for the first time in 108 years!!

Watching the Cubs!

Wes' first Halloween!
