4 months

Oh my goodness I just can not believe it has been 4 months since sweet Parker entered this world. What's really crazy is last Christmas I was pregnant and we hadn't told everyone yet:) 

height/weight: these are 2 weeks late due to holidays- but here they are!  weight:16lbs (61%) length:26.5in (87%) OFC: 43cm (59%) nicknames: sweet boy, lil rascal, parker doodle, lil buddy 

physical: his eyes are still blue. Ainsley looks at them and says "blue just like mine are blue!"  he has a little mullet in the back where he has a lost a ring of hair in the middle.  he is drooling a lot and chewing on everything. 

size: he is in size 2 pampers. wearing 3-6 month and some 6 month.  eating: like his sister, he is just sort of finicky. He gets distracted pretty easily. Generally, he takes 4.5-5 oz every 3 hours during the day. his last bottle of the night is at 830 and his first bottle is at 7am.  sleeping: uggghhhh. we thought we lucked out (again) in this category. but he is just not following suit;) the past 2 weeks he has been waking up 4-5 times a night. not really hungry just wanting his paci. So i pop his paci back in, he falls back asleep until he wakes back up wanting his paci. I have done a lot of reading on "four month sleep regression" and it fits his behavior to a T.  Since he was sleeping so awful last night we attempted his crib for the first time. he was up 3 times before 1045 and we gave up and put him back in the rock n play. I also had to start swaddling him with his arms out because he rolls everywhere. Sooo, praying this next month goes better in the sleeping department. for all of us. 

play:  the big one this month: he started rolling! at first he just sort of flopped from back to stomach. then several days later he smoothly would flip. now he goes from back to stomach to back.  he has also discovered his feet:) he grabs them and looks at them and thinks they are funny.  he is starting to babble and just talks and talks.  he smiles a lot. and his smile is the best- it takes up his whole face.  he laughs a lot, especially if you are laughing.  he can take his paci out and put it back in (only if it doesn't leave his hand)
