William Aston,
I can hardly believe that today you are 4 months old! Time is going by so much faster now that Mommy has returned to work and doesn't get to spend every minute of every day with you. You're changing so quickly! This past month you've:
*Rolled from your tummy to your back (first time August 10th).
*Started daycare (August 20th). =(
*Rolled from your back to your tummy (first time August 22nd).
*Started sleeping in your
*Got your first pair of tennis shoes...and second pair. =)
*Grabbed toys off the floor next to you to play with all by yourself.
*Got your first boo-boo (carpet burn from daycare).
*Really laughing and smiling at everything.
The biggest change for you this past month is your ability to roll. You will roll on to your tummy and start scooting around. Luckily you don't get too far. You eventually get stuck because you shove your head into the floor and stick your booty in the air, all while attempting to shove your whole fist into your mouth.
Yesterday we went to the doctor for your 4 month check-up. You weighed 14 lbs. - 12 oz. (almost 50th percentile) and they measured you to be 24 inches (25th percentile). You also woke up in the middle of the night yesterday with all kinds of stuffiness and congestion. You started running a fever last night and woke up with one still today. The doctor says it is most likely just a cold. You HATE getting your nose suctioned. It's so sad. You also have Ptosis in your left eye. We can't fix it now because you are too young, but we will look into having it fixed when you're old enough.
You're wearing size 2 diapers. You wear 0-3 months shorts and shirts, 3-6 month onesies and jammies. We'll be trading out your jammies for the 6-9 months very soon though because yours are starting to get too short. Sadly all of your cute clothes are covered up by bibs all day long. You still spit up A LOT! ALL. DAY. LONG. In fact you just spit up as I typed that sentence...no joke. The doctor has us starting you on solids and hopes to see improvement with your spitting up, but if not we'll be sent to see a specialist.

And now for a photo dump of randomness from the past month...
You LOVE to shove anything and everything you can into your mouth...except for a binky. You start making gagging sounds if we try. =) |
