See this big guy?
Ya, my Lincolnator just turned 4 months
I cannot believe it!
He had his 4 month check up last Friday
Here are his stats:
Date: 1-14-11
Age: 4 Months
Length: 26.2 inches 90%
Weight: 15 pounds 12 oz 75%
Head Circ: 41.7 cm 25%
His stats make him sound not so proportionate-
but he looks proportionate.
Lincoln was lot happy with his shots this time around. He cried and cried and cried. I think he was more upset that a stranger was holding him than the shots - but nevertheless, he hated it.
He has been so much fun lately
Here are things he loves. . .
Bath time
His toys
bouncing his way off his bouncer
His hands in his mouth
trying to get anything and EVERYTHING in his mouth
holding his toes
Getting dressed
Getting his diaper changed
He loves talking
and smiling!
This boy is ALL smiles
loves story time
daddy time
Mommy time
His also has new tricks like . . .
Rolling over from his tummy to back
and back to tummy
(i'm so sad, the video wont load!)
sitting up
He is starting to. . .
eat rice cereal
(he still isn't too sure about it)
hold his own bottle
He doesn't like. . .
Juice
or having his legs in his jammies
or spitting up
Here are a few more things about Lincoln -
He is still in size one diapers
He still drinks his similac sensitive
He'll drink 4 ounces every 3 hours
but i'm trying to get him to eat every 4 hours
he ISN'T sleeping through the night anymore.
AGH!
He goes to bed at about 9
wakes up around midnight
then at 2 AM
then at 4AM
then at 5:30AM
then sleeps til 9 or 9:30
SERIOUSLY! He is sleeping worst than when he was a new born.
So, we are trying a new schedule out to see if we can get him to sleep longer.
We stopped feeding him during the night and we are just giving him his binki. Hopefully he'll be trained to sleep through the night soon.
He loves to fall asleep with his binki
He only really cries when he is tired or hungry
If he can't see mom or dad he'll start screaming(not crying.
If he notices that somebody else is holding him besides mommy or daddy,
he'll usually start screaming as well.
He takes 3, 45 minute naps each day
(Any ideas on how to get him to nap longer?!)
If I'm feeding him and holding his bottle, he loves to hold onto my finger
He loves cuddle time with mommy
When he gets really really tired, he gets delusional and starts laughing and laughing.
Falls asleep within seconds when he's in the car
He still loves blankets by his head, especially to sleep.
Loves dancing on my lap
Usually has 2 messy diapers a day.
Loves talking/grunting
Hates 1:00 church
and hates loud, sudden noises.
I love my little man so much!
I love being able to stay home and spend all my time with him.
Well, except when I have to go to class.
BOO
he is so cute!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! He sounds exactly like my little girl in the sleep department. She's just barely getting out of those habits and sleeping longer during the night and during naps. I think its just a stage they go through!
ReplyDeleteHe is getting big! For the nap thing, don't race in there as soon as he makes a noise. They go through sleeping stages. Let him cry for a few minutes. If he still is crying, go check on him, but do not pick him up. Give him his binki and go back out. It will take 3 days to get this down, but it will be worth it. It is a stage, but you can help it a little bit :)
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute I love that smily face! PS we have the same Dino PJ's aren't they so cute? I think they are my favorite! I love him sitting in the big chair it reminds me of the Lincoln Memorial ahahha. What a handsome little boy. For longer naps, is there a window? Maybe black it out. My sister does that with tin foil. We do more belly time anything that will ware Z out or help stimulate him. That may help night time too.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Jami that is one cute baby!! I NEED to come see you!!
