:: 4 months old ::

First, I am a terrible blogger!  Hopefully someone out there is still reading our little family blog!  Maybe one of these days things won't be so crazy, and I can update more often with all of the fun things we've been doing {my peeps with 3 kiddos deserve some sort of daily award}!

For now, I hope you enjoy the update & some pictures of our little G-Funk!  He is officially 4 months old!  I was looking back at Hudson's pictures & they seem so much alike but yet, so different. It is all flying by too quickly! Check out these pics...
Hudson - 3 months old
Grant - 4 months old
We made it to our 4 month check-up today.  Here are the stats - 45th percentile for height, weight & head - quite the symmetrical babe:

24.5 inches
13 pounds, 8 ounces
{He's grown 4 inches and gained 5 pounds since birth}

He's eating every 4 hours {around 8, 12, 4, & 8}, 6 ounces {+ 1 T of rice cereal in the bottle}.  I know, I know - no cereal in the bottle - it is mainly for his reflux.  In the next couple of weeks, we'll be moving 1/2 of his cereal to spoon/bowl!  Fun, Fun!!! As of Sunday, his is an all formula man.  I really wanted to go longer but it's over - this has been one of my hardest adjustment so far.  Don't know exactly why it hit me so hard, but I've finally come to terms with it.

G sleeps about 12 hours at night & is pretty much at 2 naps/day.  Poor little thing - his morning nap is not always the greatest {taking Hudson to school/running errands} - but for the last couple of weeks, I have had BOTH boys asleep in the afternoon for at least 1-2 hours!!  Woo Hoo!!!  He also takes a 30 minute catnap around 6:30ish to make it to his last bottle.

Like Hudson, he still loves his swaddle!  And I'm not budging - Hudson was in his until 7 or 8 months!  If he's swaddled, he sleeps - and mommy & daddy are happy!! :-)

Until next time...

who doesn't love a little baby booty!! :-)
