Judd {4 months}

Judd, you are FOUR MONTHS OLD, little dude! It's just crazy how fast time is flying. What's more crazy is just how BIG of a boy you have become in the past month. You are my little chunkers and I love every single ounce of you, as there is much more of you to love for sure!!

Here you are at 1,2,3 and 4 months. Not in the correct order, but I wanted the last two months to be the bigger pictures.

You wear size mostly 9 month clothes and some 12 month clothes. You pretty much skipped 3-6 months or wore it for about 2 weeks! Mommy may or may not have wasted TOO MUCH money on buying ahead for you.

You take 5 to 6 bottles of 6 or 7 ounces and instead of feeding you when you wake up from naps, I am now feeding you to put you down for naps. You seem to do much better on this schedule as you won't take a paci but want to suck a bottle to drift off to dreamland. You've also become picky about your bottle temperature and you like it HOT. I think this is so weird but if we don't get it warm enough you act like it is disgusting and will eat like a maniac. It's comical to say the least!

We started you on oatmeal and you are a fan! It probably helps that we have been putting it in your night time bottle the past few weeks since you are always so hungry. Anyway, you eat with a spoon like you've been doing it your whole life and your pediatrician told us we could start on solids as soon as we were ready. I think we will start at 5 months with steamed veggies mashed up.

You sleep from 8pm until 8:30am and still wake up around 5 or 6am to eat. You take a nap at 9:30am and sleep until 11:30 or noon and then take another nap around 1:00 and sleep until 2:00. Your last nap is around 3:00 or 3:30 and you sleep until 5:00. Some days your nap schedule varies because of Ava's schedule, but this is what it tyhpically looks like. You are becoming a great little sleeper!

You are an easy going little buddy and smile ALL THE TIME!! You absolutely love the camera on my phone and as soon as you see my phone you cheese it up big time! You also love to smile at the baby in the mirror! You rarely cry and if you get tired or hungry, you just sort of whine.

Daddy calls you "looks" because he says you are just content observing everything around you. I'd have to agree. You also love to play with your sister! She makes you giggle. Especially when she is rough with you, which is, um, rather strange.

You reach for your toy on your car seat and pull it towards you, which makes it vibrate. We think it's cute that you understand how it works at such a young age.

You roll over from front to back and occasionally from back to front. You also love to do this pelvic thrust when I change your diaper. If we lean you up against the couch or a stack of pillows you immediately try to lean forward to sit up. You are going to be on the move in no time just like your sister was!

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that mommy is your favorite person. I find you just staring at me from across the room and if you catch my eye you grin so big it nearly splits your pants, I'm certain. I cannot express in words how much I love you. You are my favorite little guy and each month with you just gets better and better!
