4 months!

Colson you are 4 months old!  How time flies.  I can't believe a year ago we found out we were pregnant with you and now here you are, a smiling, happy and HEALTHY baby boy!

You are a very laid back baby.  You don't care who is holding you, you're just happy to be held.  You do LOVE to talk to guys though-you are a "guy's guy" we've decided.  You smile so big at your daddy when he talks to you.  When we went to your pediatricians appointment, you thought Dr. Galbreath was hilarious (until he started examing you!).  You are now 14 lbs and 8 ounces, 40th percentile, and you are 25 1/4 inches long, 66th percentile!!  You have had a HUGE growth spurt-from 25th to 66th percentile in length!!  No wonder you eat so much (and STILL wake up to eat at night)!  Dr. Galbreath said we could start cereal, fruits and vegetables.  You LOVE to eat solid food too.  We gave you oatmeal and apples for the first time and you did great.  Since then  you've started squash too and you eat really fast and aren't very sloppy at all!

You sleep better the last month, but still not what I would consider "through the night".  You go to bed between 8:30 and 9:30 usually and you sleep great until between 2:30 and 4:00.  That's when daddy and I start to get up and re-swaddle you and put your pacifier back in your mouth.  Anytime after 5 we usually give in and give you a bottle.  Then you go back to sleep until around 7, when you get up and eat again :)  It's not too bad-but we wish you would last all the way until 7!! 

You "talk" a lot now.  You don't really care for tummy time, but we are trying to do it at least once a day for 10-15 minutes or until you start getting really mad.  You try to sit up when you are awake and we are holding you.  You love to watch Alyvia and follow her voice around the room.  She is constant entertainment since she's ALWAYS so busy! 

Typical Colson face :)  He's made those "angry" eyes since he was a newborn!

We all love you so much Colson and we love watching your little personality develop!
