O's 4 month Post!

Oh November...where I now have a 4 month old baby boy and a just over a month before my daughter turns 2!!!!

This past Saturday O turned 4 months old. Today we went for his 4 month check up. He is now a little less than we thought we had him weighed in at...but not all scales convert ounces right. Mr. O now weighs 16 lbs 2 oz not the 17lbs we thought he was originally from our home scale. He is getting super tall in height. He is now 24.6 inches in length. According to the super silly percentages they have based on who knows what in comparison he is considered short..I beg to differ..we have him in some 3-6, 6 month and 6-9 month onsies.

O has found his voice!!!! He is talking to everyone all the time. He watches us walk across the room. He loves to watch his busy big sister who flys in and out of his sight constantly and try and get her attention. I can just see it now..E loves to kiss and hug O..well soon he is going to be right in her face and pulling her hair very shortly.

We are drool city lately. If you do not know about Baltic Amber Teething Necklaces..do some research..I swear by them. The lovely people of GLOW..in Peterborough sell them. After using them on both children we would not have it any other way.

I have to say O is much more smiley when I come into his room to get him and pick him up to bring him downstairs than our daughter ever was. He kicks his arms and his face lights up and almost a giggle comes out. We are squealing, cooing and chatting to his toys in the floor mat.

We have been feeding him 6 6oz bottles a day. We were adding a tsp of rice cereal into his morning bottles so he would make it 3 hrs in between feeds. It was working our really well until the other day when for some reason O did not poop for 2 1/2 days. Poor little guy was having trouble with gas...not pooping and was not drinking due to being backed up.

O is doing really well holding his head up. When we put him on the floor he looks like is carpet swimming or ready to be on the move. I am now starting to see why the doctor told us we will have to put on our running shoes for him.

I was really impressed on how my boy did with all the shots and oral vaccinations today. Today he got two needle and one oral vaccination.

Soon if he is still not making the 3 hours consistently We will be starting baby cereal sooner than later. My sweet little babe is growing so fast!Write again soon!
