Mckinnon: 4 months

Its shocking how much Mack and grown and changed in the last month! He is such a complete joy. Such an easy baby to care for and love. And while we would love him even if he was "challenging", we're grateful that he's not :-) Seriously, most easy going baby ever, i think!
At 4 months he is:
  • eating 6oz at 7am, 10am, 1pm, 4pm and 7pm
  • using a size 3 nipple for his avent bottles
  • sleeping from 7:30pm-7am
  • napping from 8:05-10, 11:15-1, 2:15-4 and a catnap around 5:30 in the swing
  • sucking his thumb (mostly the left one) to soothe to sleep
  • in size 2 diapers during the day and size 3 at night
  • in size 3-6 month shirts, 0-3 month pants
  • smiling all. the. time.
  • laughing a TON
  • taking baths in the big tub now! (he grew out of the infant tub pretty quick!)
  • loves following rhyan w/ his eyes and is very interested in spud
  • holds a toy for a short period of time
  • bats at the toys hanging above him in his gym
  • is taking 1/2 of a 15mg tablet of prevacid twice a day
  • talks a lot more!
  • the attempt to wean from the swaddle last month was not successful but this month it has been! he is sleeping at night without it at all and we will start trying naps this week.
  • is rolling to his side, but not all the way to his tummy yet
  • still protesting tummy time.
  • is waking up happy and waits for us to come get him, even if its 15 minutes!
  • is going to be starting on cereal! (already has been by the time this is posted!)
He is such a swwwweeet baby! he loves to play "rough" and one of his favorites is patty cake with his feet. He is also really loving for me to sing to him, lately. Especially "twinkle, twinkle, little star". Mack is really a very happy, content baby for the most part and now that we've (seemingly!) gotten his reflux under control, he's rarely fussy at all!
