Four Months

Colton - you are FOUR months old!!!!

What have you been up to this month???

You weigh close to 14lbs - we will get your exact measurements at your 4 month appt on monday.

You wear 3-6month clothes and size 1-2 or 2 diapers.

You are a great sleeper!!! Praise the Lord! You sleep from about 8pm until 7am. I am SO happy and thankful with that. You take 2-3 naps a day. Sometimes you nap in the morning between your 7 and 10 bottles and usually one midmorning around 11:30 and a great afternoon nap from 2-5pm. I am SOOOO thankful that you and Ryan nap at the same time every day. Sometimes you take a little nap around dinner time.

You are the sweetest and happiest baby. You are always so content and hardly ever cry. You have the sweetest smile! You love to smile when we talk to you!

You are getting good at putting weight on your legs. You love to stand when we hold you.

You sit in your bumbo now but usually don't last long. You will play in your jumperoo for about 10min at a time.

You suck on your hands all the time! You still aren't big on your paci. Many times you like to just like to play with your paci in your mouth.

You take a bottle every 3-4 hours. You drink five 6oz bottles a day.

You are starting to grab at things. You love your blue elephant lovie. You always grab on to it when your sleepy.

You have started to try to talk and laugh. If we tickle you in just the right spot you will giggle for us. You love to watch your big brother and are fascinated in whatever he is doing.

You have rolled about a hand full of times. You hold your head and neck up so well. I think you might hit your big milestones before Ryan did. You are growing up too fast!

My two handsome boys! Ryan is getting better about taking pictures with his little brother. While I was taking pics of Colton he wanted to jump in and I was happy to get some pics of them together.

Growing, growing, growing! You look alike like Ryan but you also have your own look to you. You have lots more hair than Ryan did and it's very dark. Your eyes are still gray/brown. Not sure what color that will settle at.

I love you more every day! You are such a blessing and I cannot imagine life without you. I praise God every day for blessing me with you!
