Caleb you are the big 4 M-O today! I can't believe another month has come and gone, and just like always, this past month came with a lot of new discoveries! Your little personality just keeps getting more fun by the day. You also get cuter by the day!
We take you to the doctor on Monday for your 4 month check up, so i'm not sure on your weight or length. I'm going to guess around 14 pounds and 25ish inches long.
You are wearing 0-3 and 3 month clothes. 3 month pants are still HUGE on you. Unless you have a ginormous growth spurt, I have a feeling you will still be wearing 3 month pants when you are 6 months old. You can surprisingly still wear newborn pants.
You are still wearing size 1 diapers. You have a tiny hiney. We are crossing our fingers you stay in the size 1's for a little longer because we received so many of these diapers at showers. Your closet is full them!
You are drinking 4.5 ounces every 3-4 hours (which comes to 6 times a day). We give you a 5 ounce bottle before you go to bed, it helps you sleep through the night. You are still on Nutramigen for your milk protein allergy.
You sleep anywhere from 7-10 hours at night. We put you down between 8:30-9:30 at night and you wake up around 6:30-7 in the morning. On the days I work we have to wake you up at 6am and you act like a teenager not wanting to get up for school. Lately, you have been refusing to nap for me during the day. This makes it pretty hard for me to get anything done around the apartment, you just want to play with mommy all day! When you do nap, you will sleep about an hour and a half.
You still move a TON in your sleep. We finally bought a breathable bumper a few weeks ago because you would wake yourself up by smacking your head into the rails. Ever since we added that bumper you rarely wake yourself up. I'm still nervous about putting in your cute cushiony bumper, but once you stop snuggling up next to the rails we'll switch the bumpers out.
You have a cute little bald spot on the back of your head due to all the moving in your sleep.
You laughed for the first time on June 22! Of course the one thing that makes you laugh, makes mommy and daddy look super silly! We have to say "fee fi fo fum, CALEB!!!" in a deep voice and you love it! Your laugh is so cute.
You'll roll over from tummy to back and are getting pretty darn good at it! You haven't figured out back to tummy yet, but I think it'll happen soon.
You love sitting in your bumbo seat. I think it makes you feel like a big boy. You look so proud when you sit in it, even if you are still a bobble head!
You are grabbing your toys now and look so cute while doing it. Also, every toy goes into your mouth these days. Your favorite toys right now are your squishy blocks, your caterpillar rattle, and you still love your hanging monkey on your car seat.
You love the TV, a little too much maybe! If the TV is on, you will do anything so you can see it.
You are starting to show interest in the cat, Jade. When she walks by, you will follow her with your eyes until she is out of site.
You "talk" constantly! We joke around that we need you to play the "quiet game" so we can hear the news or have a conversation ;)
You really enjoy diaper changes. You will smile and talk almost the entire time we're changing your diaper.
You absolutely love bath time! You can make a pretty big mess now with all your splashing, and you make us laugh so much. We can't wait to see you have fun in the big tub later on....and we will invest in raincoats!
You really do not like stop lights (but really, who does?) The second the foot hits the break pedal you cry and won't stop till we're moving again.
You are a joy and such a happy baby. We are so proud of you and love you very much!
He is precious! Presley is a big mover when she sleeps too. But she has always had a bumper pad in her bed and she's done fine. It's hard not to worry though. :)
