Happy 4 Months Nathan!

Nathan you are now 4 months old!

Weight: 14 pounds 6.5 ounces

Height: 25 3/4 inches

Health: Well you ended up sick this month officially with a cold and a slight fever. Luckily your daddy stayed home with you and took you to the doctors. It took a while for you to get over it but you have been good ever since!

Sleep: I don't want to jinx ourselves but you have been sleeping really well and in your crib!! We started you in your crib swaddled and you were doing ok waking up about twice a night but going right back to sleep. When you got sick the doctor told us to have you sleep at an incline so back in your swing you went for 2 nights. Well then we went through the crib transition ALL OVER AGAIN. Luckily it only took a couple nights. About mid month we switched you over to the Merlin Magic sleep suit. I am happy to say that for about the past week you have been sleeping from about 7:45 to 5-6 and then back down til anywhere between 7 and 8:30. You did seem to wake up sometime between 1 and 3 and fuss around in your crib a bit but you always put yourself back to sleep which saves mom and dad a trip in your room and you are doing fine not eating til morning! It has been fantastic!

Routine: We pushed up bath time and usually go in by 7-7:15 and you seem to like being in bed earlier. Especially on your daycare days you are absolutely exhausted. Your daycare routine will be changing soon since it was your last day with Ms. Liza and we will miss her dearly! She was so good to you and we are hoping your new daycare will be just as good!

Diet: Still 100% of good ole mama's milk and I am in no hurry to start you on any type of food. I think we will hold off until 6 months as long as your still gaining weight. 

Clothes: Mostly 3-6 months. Some of your summer rompers are 6 months but shorts are mostly 3 months. 

Baby Gear: Still love looking at and reaching for your toys especially in your gym. You also love holding onto your toys in your car seat. The car is touch and go with you. Sometimes you are perfectly content and other times you will scream bloody murder making for a horrible car ride! Still loving the bath tub! I had also put you in your big part of the stroller which you seemed to enjoy. Still hating tummy though :( We have started using your Jumper which you are very curious about.

Crying: Same things, tired, hungry or if you get bored with something

Social: This month you enjoyed spending time with the kids at daycare and also had a few playdates. We also celebrated your Nanny and Grampy's 40th wedding anniversary and had our last dinner at your great grand parents house! We also celebrated Daddy's first Father's Day! We ventured out to make him some pottery with your foot prints. Boy was that an adventure!

You get more fun everyday and we love watching you grow and change!
