4 MONTHS

This little baby is THE BEST angel baby in the entire world. I am totally jinxing myself by saying it, but he is so good and so happy and just the best baby that has ever lived! This is his schedule at 4 months:

5:00-7:00 AM wakes up for a quick feeding and then back to bed

8:30 AM I wake him up for the day and he eats

10:00 AM down for nap

11:30 AM wakes up and eats

1:30 PM down for a nap

3:30 PM wakes up and eats

5:00 PM down for a nap

6:30 PM wakes up and eats

7:30 PM bath time and get ready for bed
8:00 PM eats and then off to bed
SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!!

James is such a happy little man. He rarely cries. When he does it means he is tired. He usually only cries when he goes down for his nap for a few minutes and sometimes in the car. During his awake time he likes to play under his play mat, sit in his bumbo chair and he just started sitting in the exersaucer. He is really wanting to sit up more and be apart of the action.

He has started to eat his hands and bats at toys with his hands. He rolled over for the first time on January 13th. He rolled from his tummy on to his back. He is very good at tummy time now and holds his head up high. He will get frustrated after a bit and rub his face on the ground and start to cry.

He is a great sleeper but is still taking all of his naps in the bouncy chair. I was going to try to break him of that habit, but now he has a cold so I guess I will wait until he is feeling better and then he is going to have to nap in the crib. He sleeps all night in his crib so I know he can do it, but I have a feeling he might have some shorter naps when we make that transition.

He is still doing great at nursing and we have never even offered him a bottle because I am too lazy to pump! Oh well! He is spitting up less now which is nice because my shoulder does not constantly smell like spit up now. He is getting more distracted now while nursing so I often have to give Luke my phone and exile him from the room so the baby will get a full feeding. Otherwise he is pulling off the breast every minute try to see what is going on. I didn't really have that problem with Luke because it was just the two of us!

He seems to be growing so quickly and I miss that tiny little baby that popped out of me, but I don't miss getting up in the night and the never ending nursing! His schedule right now is great, but it does limit what types of outings we can do. He will sometimes nap when we are out and about, but we mostly stay home. Since it is winter and Luke is in school 3 days a week it works out okay.

I love this little man and I love watching him grow and change so quickly!
