Our roly poly man is already 4 months old! We went to the doctor with the 2 kids in tow, Logan for his 4 year and Mason for his 4 month check up and shots. Mason weighs in at 14 pounds, 9 ounces and is a strong healthy boy! He does have a flat spot on one side of his head, just from laying in the same spot and not liking tummy time. The doctor assured us it would round out. We try to move his head while he is asleep to the other side, but nope, he will move it back. Working on more tummy time and putting him in the jump up will help as well. He took his shots like a champ! Cried for just a bit and then was over it and back to smiling!
Eating: 5 ounces of breast milk every 3-4 hours. Sometimes he will take 6 or 7 ounces on occasion. My goal was to pump for 4 months! YAY! Now on to my next goal of 6 months, I can do it! We gave him rice cereal the other day and he was pretty much over it and was like give me my bottle already! So I am going to send some to school and see if he will take it there. And the rolls. They go on for days! I love all his chubbiness!
Sleeping: Like a champ! He HAS to be swaddled though. Our routine is bath, bottle, bed. Sometimes this means he is swaddled in the crib at 7:30pm. He does still wake up around 4:30am, (he wriggles out of his swaddle) and I put him in the bed with us. Sometimes he goes right back to sleep. Other times, he is hungry.
Likes: He likes to be held still and rocked. I love it, but sometime we have to put him down and he hates it. We have had a few "cry it out" nights and boy does that hurt my heart! He eventually calms down, but that boy has some lungs on him! He likes mirrors, as all babies do. He will smile so big if he is looking at a mirror. He loves big brother. Logan is usually the one that can get him smiling big. He is smiling ALL the time! He has been dubbed by Bryan as our "smiley guy" We would hardly get any smiles out of Logan at that age. He will coo and make noises and blow bubbles and we have heard a few giggles but no laughing out loud just yet. He enjoys his bath and kicks and splashes. He likes the swing when he is sleepy. He likes to pull his blankie up right by his face. He also has a little bear he has grown pretty found of when he is sleepy.
Dislikes: Being put down on his back. He always wants to be sitting up like a big boy. He still has a love hate relationship with his pacifier. It will sooth him, but if he looses grip....his world has ended and he lets us know about it! He does not seem to enjoy the bumbo at home, but they tell me at school, he likes it.
Mason, Buggie boy, you have completed our little family! We love you more every day, keep growing!
