4 months Summary

On Friday was officially my little guys 4 month birthday and I can not say enough how fantastic he is! Andy and I were talking the other night about how good he is and laughing that our next child will have to be so hard because Tucker has been so easy (relatively as far as babies are concerned anyways!).

So here is what Tucker is doing these days....

(4 month picture was not so great-the lighting is horrible but you get the idea!)

You are such a sweet baby. You will smile at anyone and let anyone hold you. You are SO HAPPY all the time. The only time you ever cry or fuss is when you get TOO tired, or you are hungry.

You have recently started rocking. You have always been rocked to sleep so I guess now you figure you can just rock yourself! You will be sitting in someones lap and just start rocking yourself, it is so funny.

You are really getting to be a wiggle worm. You could easily jump out of someones arms. You are getting really close to rolling over.

You still sleep great (knock on wood). You sleep from about 8:30 to 6-6:30 every night, sometimes longer. You are still sleeping in your bassinet which is on top of your pack and play. We thought you might be getting to big for the bassinet so we tried just letting you sleep at night in the pack and play but you were moving around to much and had too much space and it didnt go to well so back in the bassinet you went!

After your 4 month appointment you got the OK to eat baby food! I had been giving you cereal for a couple of days before your appointment but now we have been trying other things. Dr. C said to try vegetables first so you wont get used to sweet fruits and not want any vegetables and also to stick with the same veggie for a couple of days straight to make sure you were not allergic. So far we have had carrots and sqaush. You are doing fantastic at Mrs. Leigh Annes at daycare and you are so good to just take anywhere we go. You have a great schedule but you are very flexible and sleep great in the car.

You are really starting to become more active with your toys than you were last month and I love getting you new stuff to play with. You also love watching Disney Sing Along DVD. The one you have is the Bare Nessesities and you have watched it just about every day. I try to switch them out with other movies but you just love that one so much you prefer it over others.

Stop growing so fast sweet boy!!

At your appointment, you weighed 15lb 3 oz and were 26 inches long! The 70% percentile for weight and the 90th percentile for length! Our little tall and skinny baby! He got those genes from his daddy for sure!
