Weight: I'll update his stats after his four month checkup.
Height:
Eye color: They are changing and look hazel. I'm thinking they could turn to brown soon.
Clothes: He is now wearing 3-6 month clothes. I have even bought him some 9 month clothes because it seems like he is growing a lot lately.
Diapers: Size two diapers. Changing to size three when we run out of the box of twos we have now. I always know it's getting close to when we need to change sizes when he starts to pee on every outfit he wears.
Milestones: The biggest milestone this month has been rolling over. He rolled over from his tummy to his back the day he turned four months. I was so proud and made such a big deal about it and he just looked at me like I was crazy haha. He is also holding his head up like a champ now. He is still a little bobbly when we sit him up (we call him bobble head sometimes) but he's getting the hang of it. We put him in his bumbo chair for the first time, but he isn't steady enough to just sit in it by himself for a while because he kind of slumps over. Tummy time has gotten a little better but he still gets aggravated. He lasted six minutes the other day which was HUGE for him! He has started to make different sounds and still talks all the time. He says gaga and yaya a lot. He also makes this noise that sounds like Chewbaca lol. My sister was holding him a few weeks ago and he said gaga...she immediately said "he can call me gaga!!!" haha. I cannot wait for him to be able to say mama (I'm convinced it will be his first and favorite word).
Sleeping: He gets sleepy around 7 and will usually sleep pretty good for 5 hours. He then wakes up about once an hour crying for his paci. I just put it back in his mouth and he will go back to sleep. He has been wanting to get up for the day around 4 am but we have started to just put his paci in and he will sleep until about 7 and we will get up for the day. He will eat, play, and is ready for a long nap around 9. He takes his best naps on my chest, but will also sleep okay in his bassinet. We are going to make the transition from bassinet to crib very soon. I am not looking forward to it at all. We are considering moving his crib into our bedroom until he gets used to it so we don't have to transition him into his crib and into his room all the way upstairs. I hope this transition goes a lot better than I'm predicting. Wish us luck!
Eating: He is solely on formula now. We had to switch him from a milk based formula to Nutramigen hypoallergenic formula because he is a little lactose intolerant. It also happens to be the most expensive formula...and it smells bad. It's better for him and doesn't hurt his tummy as much though so it is worth it. He has started eating six ounces at each feeding now instead of four. He loves to eat but is still so skinny! I wonder if he will ever be a chubby baby?
Activities: He is still playing on his activity mat and has started to pull the mobile as hard as he can and will get upset because he can't pull the birds off. It's actually a little lopsided now because he pulls it so hard. We also still read books and I've been introducing new toys like glow worm and some pull toys. He loves one of his pull toys that goes on his car seat and vibrates- he will giggle when we pull it. He still loves peek-a-boo and is laughing more and more. I sing to him every day and he always just stares at me and will usually smile.
Favorite things: My favorite thing about my little bear is the way he smiles at me every time I look at him or talk to him. He loves his mommy! He will also usually smile at anyone who talks to him. I just love his happy little personality. I also cannot get enough of his giggles. It might be the best sound I've ever heard. I also love when he falls asleep on my chest. It's so hard to put him in his bassinet to nap when I just want to hold him. One more favorite thing is that he has started to snuggle with his monkey (aka monk monk).
