Abraham: 4 months!



Stats: 16 lbs 6 oz 

Clothing Size: 6 months and a few 9 months

Diaper Size: Size 3 and sometimes Size 4 at night

Firsts: First trip to Arab. First time in the pool. First time visiting Nanny.

Milestones: You started laughing. You rolled from your belly to your back on your 4 month birthday.You kind of say Ma Ma, Da Da, and Bye Bye. You are just making the sounds...so they don't count as first words yet. You love to do the "waa waa waah" thing on my hand.

Food: You are exclusively breastfed and we feed you straight from the tap when you are hungry. ;) I like structure to the day, but a feeding schedule doesn't work for us.

Likes:  Your bouncy seat. Baby Einstein clutch ball. Sophie the giraffe. Ergo. Your hands. Babbling!!!! 
 
Dislikes:  Any kind of loud noise whatsoever!

Best Moment: Hearing your first laugh!

Worst Moment: I let you fall off the couch. :-/

Sleep: You typically take 3 naps. A big change from last month when you slept A LOT. Sleeping with Mommy and Daddy at night, waking up once or twice to eat.

Favorites: The way you smile at anything. If we just look at you, you smile! It is great, and makes us know you feel loved.

Our days: You have pretty much put yourself on a schedule. You typically wake up about 7 or so. We chit chat for a bit. You join us at breakfast in your bouncy seat and listen to our daily Bible Story.  You are usually ready for a nap about an hour after you wake up. I put you in your woombie, feed you, and you fall fast asleep. You sleep in the bed with the sound machine on, while I have alone time with Owen. You typically nap an hour to hour and a half. You usually want to eat when you wake up, and then we head out for our daily outing. You sometimes cat nap in the Ergo while we are out. After lunch, while Owen is napping, you ride in the Ergo or play while I do my daily chore, and then you take a nap. Sometimes we snuggle, sometimes you nap in the swing, and sometimes you nap in the bed.  We play outside or read when you wake up. You take a nap in the evenings right before or during dinner (typically in the swing or bed). You have to have your bath by 6:30 or you kind of freak out. So funny, that you expect a bath at this time! You are usually asleep for the night at 8, and wake to eat when Daddy and I go to bed.

Nicknames: Bubba, Boo, Boo Boo, Squishy Squish, Chunka Monk, Marshmallow Man

Health: so so healthy!

Things I want to remember...

Your sweet chunky cheeks.

The sweet smell of your baby breath.

The way you look at me with your mouth open when you want to eat.

Your giggle.

The way you turn you head into my shoulder when someone new talks to you.
