Nate the Great at 4 months

Nathanael’s 4 Month Stats

Weight: 17-18ish lbs (I think) – we haven’t had his 4 month appointment yet.  He’ll head to the doctor’s with Abi in early July for her 3 year and his 4 month.  Life simplified: joint appointments.

Length: 27(ish) inches

Eating: 6-8 ounces every 3 hours during the day, we’re going to start working to 4 feedings during the day (every 4 hours)

Bedtime: 7-7:30pm

Awake: 6:30-7 am

Naps: We haven’t found our rhythm here yet – still a work in progress!  On our “all is right with the world” days, Nate goes down for a morning nap at 9ish and sleeps until 10:30-11 / goes down around 1:30 and sleeps until 4 – and then a little 30 minute nap after that in the early evening.

Diapers: size 3, and the cloth diapers are back!  But, I need to find some new tricks for boys…cloth diapering is a bit easier with girls, in my experience!

Clothes: 6 months and 6-9 months /9 month sleepers

Favorites: Abi, jumping in the johnny-jump-up (nifty little contraption that hangs over the door frame), my Daddy’s tickles, snuggling with his momma, being pushed around in his walker by Abi (this is probably one of her favorite things to do right now too!), his fingers (in his mouth ALL the time!)

Latest "tricks": Giggling, showing off his coordination (you know, fingers to mouth, toys to mouth, etc.!), rolling over! (with help…we start him on a slight incline and he – and his sweet big ol’ head – do the rest!

Looking forward to: Rolling over all on his own, letting his momma make dinner without being fussy the whole time!, those sweet little teeth coming soon!
