4 Months Old

Mr. William is 4 months old.  I took him for his appointment and my poor little guy was not happy at all.  I had to wake him up, so it made for an unpleasant visit at the doctor’s.  He had to get several shots and the doctor had to dig out some ear wax, so he screamed bloody murder this go around.  The good news is, he is healthy and we got the go ahead for solids, which I know our little chunk will enjoy.
4 months old:
  • 18.4 lbs (96%tile)
  • 26 inches (86%tile)
  • 17.13 head circumference (82%tile)
  • wears size 3 diapers and mostly 6-9 month clothes
  • reaches and grabs toys
  • tracks objects and people side to side
  • laughs & squeals
  • has rolled over a few times tummy to back
  • loves to stand up
  • loves his bath
William is doing really well.  We moved him into his crib at 3 months old and at first he was waking up constantly searching for his pacifier.  On night #2 of crib sleeping, we decided to go cold turkey without the pacifier and we haven’t looked back since.  He cried for about 25 minutes the first night, but now he falls asleep on his own at night paci free.  No more plugging the pacifier all night long.  It feels so liberating!  He mostly sleeps anywhere from 6-9 hour stretches, eats, and goes right back to sleep.  Bedtime is usually by 7:30 and he up for the day between 6:30-7:45.  He takes three naps (mostly in the swing…we need to nip that one soon).
We started him on some rice cereal over the weekend.  He spit most of it out, but with practice he will be trying all kinds of new foods soon.
William lights up our world.  What a sweet, happy boy!
