4 Months

This posting is incredibly late, but here it is nonetheless. Miles turned four months old April 13th and has been very busy. Here are some stats....

Weight: 14 pounds, 25th percentile
Height: 26 inches, 90th percentile
Head: 16.5 inches, 50th percentile

Miles can roll over from his tummy to back with grace now (as apposed to the thud, or "accidental" roll). He is almost there going from back to tummy too. This kid is constantly squirming, kicking, and now, pulling (mostly mommy's hair. Not cool).

His hand/eye coordination is really great. He is grabbing and actually playing with things with purpose.

Is becoming chatty and giggly.

Can blow bubbles like a pro, a very slobbery pro.

Has found his tongue and you will usually find him with it sticking out and making funny noises.

His two bottom, front teeth have made an appearance, to the horror of his breast feeding mother. We'll see how much longer that lasts :) I have to say I am glad to see these teeth because I thought for a few weeks that an evil alien had taken residence in my sweet baby's body. Now that they have broken, he is much happier.

He may have also been crabby because when we went to the doctor, we found out he has a double ear infection. He's on medicine now and seems to be acting happier.

Miles has also started grabbing for our food and drinks while we are eating so the doctor suggested we start him on some rice cereal. Let the fun begin!

My little boy is sleeping so well at night, it's great! He goes to bed around 7:30 and stays asleep until 4-5:30 for a feeding and then goes back to sleep until 7-8!!!! Oh happy day!


The thing that I am most excited about (and am a little nervous to write because I don't want to jinx it) is that he might have gotten the idea of napping IN HIS CRIB!!! I was having such a hard time with this. He would sleep for 20-30 minutes in his crib and then wake up screaming and would not go back down. He would sleep in his car seat no problem, but I wanted to break him from this habit and get more into a routine. I am happy to report yesterday, and so far today, he has napped for 1.5 hours each nap in his crib. I am just so proud of him I could cry.


Daddy seems to be his favorite person in the whole world. Sigh... :)

The binky says it all... "My Dad Rocks"

I think I say this every month, but it's so true, his little personality is shining through more and more each day and it's just so fun to see. I love that I am able to be with him and witness these things on a daily basis.


We have also been to our friend Teagan's 2nd birthday party, went to the aquarium with her, hung out with our friend Charlie, met Marge, Ariana, and Alana, celebrated Easter, hung out with family, celebrated Mimi, grandma, and auntie Andrea's birthdays, wished baby James a happy birthday from afar, and found out we will be adding a few new friends to our group in the near future!
