This little boy is 4 months old. Holy moly! He loves to drool, laugh, smile and sit up (with some help). He loves his big sis and his little face is changing every day. He has little arm rolls and leg rolls and is just about 40% for both height and weight. He had his first real fever on the day of his 4th month birthday. So he spent the next day at the hospital getting blood work, and luckily it turned out to (only) be an upper respiratory infection. So he had a week of being stuck home with mom and dad, but he was always his happy little self.
3 Months
Weight/Height: 14.2lbs / 23.5″
Wearing: 3 Months, some 6 Months onesies
Favorite Things: He likes bath time and big sis.
Biggest Milestone: Rolling over front to back.
Biggest Challenge: Going back to work and leaving this precious baby at daycare.
My Favorite Part of This Stage: He is starting to laugh! It is so cute.
Looking Forward To: More laughs and getting in to more of a routine.
4 Months
Weight/Height: 14.10lbs (39%) / 24.75″ (37%)
Wearing: 3 months, some 6 month onesies
Favorite Things: He loves to be outside, loves to see himself in the mirror and still loves riding in the car. But his sister makes him smile like no one else can. It is the sweetest thing.
Biggest Milestone: Sleeping from 9PM – 6AM most nights.
Biggest Challenge: He doesn’t sleep as soundly as he did when he was a newborn… so it’s tough getting little sister to keep her voice down long enough for him to get a decent nap.
My Favorite Part of This Stage: The smiles! He is so happy and each smile makes my heart burst.
Looking Forward To: Continuing to see his little personality get stronger and stronger.
I spent so many nights worrying about how life would be with two kids. Would Blaire feel like old news? Would like be crazy? Well, life is crazy but it’s good crazy. We are so blessed.
Here’s to finishing off the summer with lots more fun.

How sweet! He is just precious! Milestone updates are wonderful to do because you forget so quickly all the little things.
