4 Months Old

On December 27th baby J turned 4 months old! He's a chunky monkey! He weighed in at 17.1 pounds and was 27.5 inches long! The doctor asked me if he was rolling over yet and I said no. She said that he is a big boy so it will take him longer than other babies to roll over. I thought that was pretty funny. Poor baby! He loves taking baths - he is starting to kick and splash in the water.

He was cleared to start eating baby food once a day. We started him with oatmeal. The first 2 days he was a little unsure, but on the 3rd day he was used to it and was really chowing down. Next, we did 3 days of peas, then 3 days of carrots, then 3 days of green beans. So far he's liked them all and gets really mad if we take too long to feed him.

He thinks he is so big now!!

Andrew passed on his favorite blanket (aka cookie monster) to J.J. Andrew says he is too big for it and now J.J. can have it. J.J. loves it!

J.J. loves to play with his toes. He can occupy himself with his feet for a long time! It's so cute!!

I love this little outfit! He looks like such a big boy to me.

And here's his new favorite toy. He really enjoys playing with all the toys and he is starting to jump a little in it.

J.J. wears size 6-9 month clothes and he is barely fitting in his size 2 diapers any more. When this last pack is done, he will move into size 3.

He is sleeping through the night from about 9:30 pm-7:00 am. He still has a 5 ounce bottle every 3 hours and he eats one whole jar of level 1 baby food every night.

He has rolled over from his stomach to his back about 4 or 5 times in the last week. He gets a little scared, but we clap and cheer for him and that makes him give us a little unsure smile.

He adores Andrew and giggles anytime Andrew pays attention to him. He always has lots of handsome smiles for his momma and he gets really happy and kicks his legs in excitement when he sees his daddy.

It's so much fun to have a baby around again!
