4 Month Survey

Age - 4 months

Weight -
17lbs 9oz (78th percentile)

Height -
27.25in (96th percentile)

Sleeping habit -
Thankfully, he's still sleeping a minimum of 8 hours. Most nights, he's in bed around 9pm and wakes between 6-7am. He usually naps for a combined total of 3-4 hours. 2 short naps, 1 long one.

Eating habits - We just started solids today! He seemed to really enjoy the carrots.

Favorite activity - He LOVES interacting with people. We can lay on the floor playing with him for hours and he'd be happy. OK, so hours may be a slight exaggeration, but you get my point. He still loves his play mat, and toys in general. Specifically the Winkel (seen below). That overpriced piece of intertwined plastic is amazing.
Cutest Moment of the Week - Eating carrots. Oh my gosh. That messy face was the cutest thing ever.

Milestones - Starting solids, sitting up on his own, rolling over. Go Caleb!!

Firsts - First Thanksgiving, road trip, hotel stay, and the list goes on and on.

A day of firsts

Today has been an awesome day for Caleb! At his 4 month check-up, Dr.Jou gave the OK to introduce solids, so today we started. This kid LOVES carrots. He did a fantastic job with eating his first solids. After awhile, he wanted to hold the spoon himself (but mom still had to help, of course). He made a mess, but surprisingly, most of it ended up right where it was supposed to!

Another first...
Caleb finally rolled over!!! We were "practicing" rolling over earlier, and he rolled over from his tummy to his back all by himself! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get video of it. Maybe next time. We've been working on sitting up/tripoding lately, and this past week he's really started to get the hang of it. Today he managed to sit up all by himself long enough for me to take a picture:

Please excuse the crazy socks


Our baby boy is growing...very quickly. I'm a proud momma, but sad because time is flying by so quickly. Before I know it, I'll be chasing this Little Guy around.
