four months
I can't keep up!
I could have sworn you were turning 4 months in a another week or so, but when I looked at the calendar, I saw we're already there.
Oops ;)
The name of the game this month is sleep. More specifically, the lack thereof.
Around Christmas sleep was good; typically waking only once a night, but you regressed around the new year and have been waking every 2 hours most every night since. It's slowly killing us all, and while I try to be positive about it, it's really wearing on me.
(I happened across George's 4 month post yesterday and saw the same story...Boy I hope you're a better sleeper than your brother was!)
Aside from the most precious gift of sleep, things are great!
Here are some fun things we're loving this month:

Here are some fun things we're loving this month:
- You started rolling to your tummy
- You're sitting up really well
- You're engaging with toys. Your favorite is that crazy handled rattle
- You laugh when we tickle you. It's the cutest thing EVER.
- You've graduated to 3-6 month clothes. 6 month sleepers are still a tad big, but it's only a matter of weeks..
- You weighted 12lbs at your 4 month appointment, putting you in the 5% for weight (although you're 96% for height!) We've started giving bottles to top you off at night and I feed completely on-demand now. This makes me a slave to both you and the pump, but I don't mind. We have a follow up appointment in two weeks to see if your weight has gone up. I know we can do it! I just think this time around I've been so busy that nursing sessions are cut a bit short.
- And while your nighttime sleep is awful, you're beginning to carve out a (semi) predictable 3 naps a day
We had a big month celebrating your First Christmas, but it feels really nice to be back to a normal routine; giving me time to enjoy your babyhood :)
I love you, little Ben.
