4 months old!
Colby is 4 months old!
Stats:
Height: 26 inches (86th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs 12 oz (69th percentile)
Weight: 15 lbs 12 oz (69th percentile)
New things he does:
Rolls over from back to belly. He's done it about 10 times, we have YET to capture it on video camera. He did it once when he went down for a nap in his crib and he looked SO surprised! After about 30 minutes of him trying to get back on his back, we gave in and flipped him as he started SCREAMING from frustration
Squeals. He has always done this but now it is loud. It sounds sometimes like we live in a bird emporium, like tons of canaries.
Giggles. We love it. He has to be in a certain mood, but it is heartwarming when he does!
Grabs toys. He loves his crinkle book the best, followed by Sophie the giraffe and his little plastic keys. He also loves books.
He loves his jumper/exersaucer. He doesn't quite get the bouncing up and down yet but he sure loves the toys and music!
He can hold his head up amazingly. Since he is so darn big, we usually don't take the infant car seat out to stores anymore, we take him out of the carseat and carry him on our hips - he LOVES to look around and flirt with everyone he meets. Recently, he started grabbing things on shelves (and mommy has to pick them up). I even got a giggle out of him when he did that the other day.
Kicks his soother on all night. He moves in circles in his crib during naps and at night, ends up in various corners and kicks the "on" button on his soother ALL NIGHT! We will be sleeping in silence and hear the soother turn on and off, music, womb noises, ocean waves...so funny. (we are going to be poor due to the battery usage though)...
Funny thing about the soother kicking is that at the doc's office, when he was getting weighed, the reading display was just about where his soother is in his crib, so he kept kicking it over and over wondering why it wasn't turning on. All the nurses and our doctor kept remarking about how smart he was for knowing that!
Sleeps through the night! He has been for a while, but it's every night now! He goes to sleep around 9:30 (we are working towards earlier...) and wakes up between 7:00 am and 8:00 am. He then eats, plays for an hour, and naps for an hour/hour and a half, almost like clockwork until about 5:00 when he stays up until bed time! He is such a great baby!
Just started Rice Cereal. Not a fan yet. We will try every night until he "gets" it. Doctor said we can start it because a) he is a big baby b)get him used to the texture and eating sitting up as well and c)to keep him from "waking" in the middle of the night -- usually he just wants a diaper change, not to eat, but this might keep him content longer.
Yeah, not a fan of Rice Cereal yet. Mommy and Daddy will work on it. :) |
The pool to open! The pool opens NEXT weekend! We can not wait. He love love loves the bath, and his baby pool. Now we just can't wait to use our baby float and swimmy diapers!
Gramma and Papa Dan (Bre's Mom and Papa Dan) are coming for Memorial Day Weekend! YAY!

Baby food. Yes, I know, messy...but we can't wait! We have our baby-food maker ready!
Summer. Besides the 90 degree weather, I just can't wait for sun! (it has been raining here for like 2 weeks)
