4 Months - Grant Michael

Big Guy.

The last 4 months have flown by. You are getting so big. We laugh at all your chub and rolls. It is so adorable. You are so happy, you giggle all the time and your smiles are a dime a dozen. People love talking to you because smile back so easily.

Sleep – We are still working on napping. Afternoon naps I feel are finally getting good. You nap in the pack n’ play in our room in the afternoon because Charley is napping at the same time and you don’t nap as long as he does. On a good day you will sleep for 3 hours but most days it’s about an hour & a half or 2. Morning naps have been tricky because two days of the week we have to pick Payton up from school and one day you are at Amma’s house so it’s hard to give you a good nap. You do usually sleep in your car seat while we run around or at Amma’s but it’s hard to gage. On the days we are home I try to put you in your ‘big boy crib’ and you sleep for an hour or so. You also have an evening cat nap (1/2 hour or so) around 6 or 6:30. This is usually taken in your bouncy seat while we all eat dinner. It works out great actually. As for night time, you are a champ. You go to bed around 8:30 and sleep until 6:30/7, get fed and sleep until 8 or 9. (Good Boy!:)

Feeding – You are still mainly breast fed but take a bottle really well now because you just don’t get enough so I give you formula to top you off. This happens before your afternoon nap (usually 4 oz) and before bed at night (usually 6 oz). You don’t really seem to prefer breast milk over formula. As long as you are getting fed you are happy…hints the chunk!. J
Diaper Size- 2’s. We may not be in these very long…we have had a few blow outs in them already.
Clothe Size - 3 to 6, 6 month hand-me-downs from Charley and new 6 month
Activities – We got out the saucer! You love it.  It’s fun to see your face as you play and discover.

Every time I look at you I feel so blessed and am reminded of how much better God’s plans are than my own. 

Love you handsome boy,
Mommy
