EWM-4months

My little man turned 4 months old on 8/19/13.  As a special gift he slept through the night for the first time.  yay!  He has kind of slept through the night on an every other night basis since then.  Otherwise, I think we are doing about the same as at 3 months.  The giggles have progressed to belly laughs and he is super interested in gnawing on his hands....and in turn knocking out his pacifier...and then being frustrated that he doesn't have his pacifier :)  We have made progress in the blow pop shape and it was confirmed at his 4 month well baby check...

Weight: 14lbs 4oz (30th%)
Length: 25.5in (75th%)
Head: 16.75in (83rd%)

He hates tummy time and I think it might have something to do with that REALLY heavy noggin.  Love him to pieces...

Just to compare (without really comparing my children) Lofton was 25.5in and 14lbs 10.5oz at her 9month check up so this 30th% kid seems huge!

EWM-3 months

Wow!  What a difference a month makes.  This little guy has officially stolen our hearts.  3 months old on 7/19/13
Sleeping:  Everett dropped from 8 to 5 feedings a day over the past month, whoa!  He still wakes up a couple of times, but is content to just have his pacifier replaced :)  He continues to nap between each feeding during the day...some in his bed and some in his swing
Eating:  My little monster eats more than his sister ever did already.  He is up to 5.5oz per bottle and eats every 3 hrs from 6:30am to about 6:30pm
Personality:  Who is this boy??  He is HAPPY, yay!!  By the time he actually turned 3 months he was happy unless sleepy or hungry.  We are thrilled.
Lots of firsts:  Everett started "school" on 7/1/13.  He doesn't nap well at all but he eats well so that's good.  It actually makes our evenings pretty easy because he typically takes a 2-3hr nap in his swing while we do dinner and bath for big sister.  I often wake him around 7 just to bathe him, play for a few, give him a bottle and put him back to bed.  In general, we don't see him with his eyes open a lot on week days.  A less exciting first, in his first upper respiratory infection.  The joys of being baby #2.  He was congested for several days and then ran a 101 temp which lead us to the pedi on 7/18.  No ear infection or pneumonia so that was good.  He slept in his bouncer for 2 weeks to help.

Weight: 13lbs 11oz
Clothes: 3months
Diapers: Sz 2

Love you little guy!
