Fantastic Four Months

I turned four months old yesterday! Mommy and Daddy are still having fun with all my smiles and squeals. However this last week has not been fantastic for anybody. Bridger and I are learning to go to bed in the same room. Two of the last three mornings have started at 4am (and we aren't even in the same room later in the night). I think it is a bit rough on Bridger having his routine disrupted but Mommy and Daddy really do want their room back at least at the beginning of the night. So we are either going to get it together or Mommy and Daddy are going to walk around totally exhausted and crabby! Enough of the drama around here, let's talk about me!

Eating: I am SO excited to try real food and have been trying to grab what is on the table as often as I can, but Mom says no food other than milk for me until at least 5 months. I still love to eat. I still don't have an eating schedule but I am eating a little less frequently and the 'rents think my weight gain trajectory is slowing. It might be due to my "dieting" while Mommy is at work. I am getting a bit better with the bottle, especially with Daddy. Each of the last three Fridays I have taken four ounces from Daddy while Mommy was in clinic. Speaking of clinic I visit Mommy there during the middle of the day so I don't have to got 10-11 hours without seeing her (well she doesn't want to go that long without seeing me either!). Last week I got weighed in her clinic, and I weight 15lbs 9 oz. I was wearing my clothes so I am probably not quite that much, but place your bets now on whether I weigh more than 16 lbs at my 4 month check next week.

Sleeping: Well no real schedule there either. It is partly due to all the changes with Mommy going back to work and the bedtime shenanigans. I am in general waking up a little less now that I am doing more napping during the day. Mommy is really hoping when she writes my 5 month post I will be on a nice nap schedule and have a predictable nighttime pattern.
Other stuff: I am still all smiles. I drool a lot and make puddles on everybody's shirts. I need to graduate to Size 3 diapers as soon as these Size 2s run out as I am having more "explosions" than before and the 'rents are tired of all that laundry. I am doing so much better with tummy time, and today worked really hard on rolling from front to back. Maybe by the end of the week I'll do it. I have not rolled from back to front since that one time. A repeat performance may be some time away says Mommy. I am getting really good at grabbing things and bringing them to my mouth. My favorite toys for this are a mesh ball and Sophie the giraffe. I also have more sitting strength as you can see. Maybe by next month I will be doing it almost on my own! Talk to you then!!
