Look who’s 4 months old today!  We love how social he is but it’s also made it frustrating at times since he doesn’t like to be left alone.

This month has been full of smiles and giggles.  He’s also trying so hard to sit up and we’ve played around with propping him up with pillows.  He also started sitting in the feeder seat during mealtimes for short periods of time. We’re also seeing the start of some rolling from his back to his tummy but he’s got a big tummy to move so it’s not quite there yet.

Playing on his tummy is getting easier but it’s still not his favorite.  On his back, he’s been interacting more with the toys hanging over him and will bring toys to his mouth if he can get a hold of them.

We started celebrating the holidays at Light-up Night and with family on Thanksgiving weekend.

Our little guy is 1 month old today!!  SO, out came the quilt and here is his 1-month photo.  So much has happened in his first month and we are so proud of this little chubster.  Here are some highlights:

  • Lost a pound from his birthweight and then gained it all back plus more!  His thighs are chunkier, he has cheeks now, and we can definitely feel his weight when we pick him up.
  • He has outgrown his newborn clothes and moved on to 0-3 month clothes by the second week.  He’s just about out of the newborn diapers too.  Why must they grow so fast?!
  • He no longer has jaundice and his eyes and skin have lost their yellow tone.
  • He had his first visit to the SF Zoo and has been a really good traveler on outings.
  • What we’ve learned about him so far is that he still hates getting his diaper changed, prefers to be held upright, has reflux, and still sleeps on his tummy when he’s really tired.  Over the past month, he has become a little fussier during the day but will sleep up to 4-5 hours at a time at night.  He also likes car rides as long as the car is moving.
  • Development: Started tracking objects and will watch the mobile above him.  Tolerates 1-2 minutes of tummy time before fussing.  He can lift his head for short moments while on his tummy.  He smiles randomly now but we haven’t really been able to elicit a social smile yet.
