Ethan's World: 4 Month Review

4 months smiley pie! That is your newest nickname because you are all smiles these days! You are becoming so social and just love interacting with everyone and everything around you. You have the cutest little voice and Daddy and I love talking with you when we are in the car. We take turns going back and forth and it is just the cutest thing. You are starting to scream and screech as you figure out how to work those little vocal cords and its so funny when you surprise yourself with the sounds that come out of your mouth! You are meeting so many milestones and every week it seems something is new with you. I love thinking about what you will be doing next month and I can't wait to watch it all happen. We love you so much little man!

Weight:

As of  last week at your doctor's appointment you weigh 17 pounds 1 oz, the 89th percentile.

Height:

You are 28 inches long and the average height of a 1 year old, basically a giant and off the charts!

Clothing Size:

   You are still fitting into 3 months but we are moving into 6 months once the cooler weather hits.

Diapers:

  Pampers size 2, I think you will be in size 3 by 5 months.

Feeding:

You eat on a regular schedule of 5 times a day and 6 oz at each feeding. We are starting food very soon!

Hair/Eyes:

Everyone talks about how cute your hair is and how it grows in its own hairstyle. You still have Daddy's blue eyes too.

Sleep:

You were sleeping great, about 10 hours every night until about 2 weeks ago. I think we hit the 4-month sleep regression time. Hopefully it will only last a little longer. We are also weaning you off of your swaddle right now.

Fun Stuff You Did This Month:

Daycare

You started daycare this month when I went back to work. The first day was pretty hard on both of us and they said they had never seen a 3 month old have seperation anxiety like you did but we all got through it. By the end of the first week you were smiling at all of your teachers. You are doing so well now and you love watching the bigger kids play and sing and dance. All the little girls love to watch over you too. One of the best things about daycare is that they got you to like your swing. You never really liked it and once you started using it there, you started using it at home too. This is your first picture from daycare.

First Haircut

You were starting to get a little baby mullet in the back and Daddy was not having it so we put you in your little chair and Daddy got out his clippers and gave you a trim! I saved your little locks for your baby book.

Rolled over back to front

You totally surprised us one morning when we had you on the floor for playtime and I had to get up for a minute and when I came back you were on your belly! We put you on your back again and you rolled right over onto your stomach again. You still can't figure out how to get your arms out from underneath you, but I'm sure you'll figure it out very soon. You really want to move little man!

Big Boy Carseat
Most babies stay in their infant car seat for a year but you are just so tall that it was time to move you into a bigger one. You were getting so hot and uncomfortable in the infant one we didn't want to have to make you wait any longer. You absolutely love your new seat. Its so much more open and you can look around. You never cry in the car anymore because its so comfy!

Your first year month by month
