Four Months Old

In addition to this being the busiest day since Easter, Lewis turned four months old.  He's been growing and growing and I can't wait for him to go to the doctor on Tuesday to find out how much he weighs and how long he is.

Not a whole lot is new with him, he still has no interest in rolling over but we keep trying everyday.  He is sleeping about 10 hours a night, from about 9 to 7.  He's not a good napper at all but I'm not complaining because I'd rather him sleep through the night anyway.  Most of the time his naps are about 20 minutes long, every once and a while he'll have an hour long one and a few times a week he goes down for about 3 hours.  We haven't figured out a rhyme or reason for his nap schedule (or lack of).

We tried rice cereal again yesterday and it went better than the first time but it still wasn't great.  I alternated between spoonfuls of cereal and the bottle but he got frustrated because he just wanted to eat and he hasn't figured out the spoon just yet.  We'll keep trying.

Below are the only pictures I have of him on his four month birthday.  He had just gotten out of the bath tub so his hair looks funny.

You can kind of see his blue eyes in this picture.  They're still really blue and if they stay that way, it will be the only thing about him that looks like me.  He looks more and more like his dad every day.

The giraffes on his bumpers are his friends and he'll talk to them at night before he falls asleep and in the morning when he wakes up, sometimes he even tries to grab them.  There are ribbons on his bumper that tie to the crib to keep it in place and he like to find the ribbons, pull on them until they're untied, and then chew on them until they're soggy.  It's really gross.

In all, Lewis is pretty great.  He's happy until he gets hungry or sleepy and those are all easy fixes.  Dan and I are thankful everyday that he's a happy, healthy boy and that he's surrounded by family and friends who love him.
