Four Months Old.

Happy 4 Months, Lincoln Miles!!!

Four Month Stats:

• I am estimating he weighs around 14.5 pounds and is about 24-25 inches long. We go Wednesday for his 4 month check up.
• He eats about 6 ounces every 3.5 hours -- 5 bottles a day.
• He sleeps about 10-11 hours a night. His bedtime is around 7:15-7:30 p.m.
• He is getting a little bit more blonde hair.
• He is still wearing size two diapers and mainly 3-6 month clothing, except in the waist -- he can still wear some 0-3 month bottoms and can barely keep on 3-6 month pants. He is long with a tiny waist.
• He started sleeping UNSWADDLED around 3.5 months! He decided he wanted to break free from that but we do put him in a sleep sack and he sleeps well in that.



• He loves to be held and walked around. His favorite spot is facing forward in the Baby Bjorn.
• He is really favoring his daddy right now
• He enjoys just laying on the floor and kicking.
• He is ticklish around his neck (just like mommy) and in his armpits!
• His naps are getting there -- he fights a nap like nobody's business but at night when its time to go to bed he just rolls over and goes to sleep! Go figure! Baby bootcamp for better nap taking starts next week!
• He reaches out to touch objects, can pick them up and they always go to his mouth.
• He likes to be stand up on his feet when you hold him so he can look around


• He rolled over from his back to his stomach this past Sunday for the first time. And now everytime you lay him down on his back he flips over to his stomach and looks around. However, he has forgotten how to roll back over to his back. He hasn't quite conquered combining the skills.

  

• Once on his stomach he has started to kick his feet and dig them into the ground to try and lift his rear end off the floor. Poor boy wants to be able to just TAKE off and run! I think he is going to be mobile sooner than later b/c his quite determined. As you can see...he likes to nose dive off the boppy.
  
  
• He started medicine for acid reflux around 3.5 months and we are seeing results. His spit still happens -- decreased -- but still happens. But, he doesn't cry in pain when he does it so that is improvement in our book.
• His babble is more of a gurgle in the back of his throat. He will look at you out of the corner of his eye, tilt his head, give you a serious look and just babble away.
• He got a new exersaucer and I think when his feet can better reach the bottom he will like it more!

Lincoln, You are getting to be such a big boy! We are having the time of our lives being your parents! Everyday is a joy to see what new "tricks" you have up your sleeve and what makes you smile and laugh. Thank you for being such a fun baby!! We love you!!
