4 Months Old

Corbin, you are 4 months old! What have you been up to this month?

*You weigh 15 pounds, 5 ounces (50-75%). This is just about the same as your brother at 4 months---only a 3 ounce difference. Your weight gain has slowed down with all of your reflux issues. Hopefully over the next couple of months your reflux will settle down a little.
*You are 25.3 inches tall (75%).
*Your head is 16.5 inches around (50%)
*You are wearing 3-6 month clothes and a size 2 diaper.
*You still smile all the time and you have even started to chuckle.
*You can be very vocal when you want to and we think your baby talk is so sweet!
*You have rolled from your tummy to your back a couple of times. I think it was purely by accident but I'm sure before long, you will be rolling all over the place.
*At 2 months old you were sleeping through the night 8-10 hours straight. Now at 4 months you are waking up 2-4 times a night. I don't know what happened but I hope we can get this back under control.
*You still love to sleep swaddled, but we are slowly weaning you off of your swaddle. You can almost roll over swaddled, so we need to break this habit sooner rather than later.
*You are quite the little mover when you sleep. You can turn a complete circle in your crib---while swaddled! And you like to scoot over to the bumpers and bury your face in them. So unfortunately they had to be removed and replaced with the mesh breathable bumpers.
*You will take the pacifier when you are extremely sleepy but other than that you are fine without it.
*You are starting to hold on to toys for a SHORT amount of time. Of course, they go right to your mouth.
*A couple of days ago, I felt your gums and your daddy and I think we can feel the tip of one of your bottom teeth coming through. This is very early compared to your brother who got his first tooth at 7.5 months. The doctor said it could take a month or two to come completely out.
*You got your very first cold a couple of days ago. Some germy person got my poor baby sick :( . The pediatrician wants to wait until next week to give you your vaccinations after your cold is gone.
*You still have pretty blue eyes.
*You are such a happy, sweet baby! We love you Corbin Luke!

(I started this post on your 4 month birthday and it has taken me almost a week to get it finished---LOL)

Cason at 4 months :)
