First, I can't believe I'm almost two weeks late on finally finishing this post! Unfortunately the last two weeks were filled with a Kidney infection for me and a cold for my little man! But better late than never!
Yikes! How did this happen?!?! My sweet little peanut is 4 months old!
The Skinny on Mr. Will:
Age: 4 months
Weight: 14 pounds and 15 ounces (50%)
He is getting to be soo BIG! I love it! But he is also super heavy to lug around now in our carseat!Height: 25.5 inches (75% ...are we sure this is our kid??)
Head: 42cm (50%)

Eating: We just transitioned to a 4 Hour schedule this week and Will is adjusting great! He continues to need to eat in his room with the lights off as he seems to have inherited his momma's ADD! If we try to eat with any distractions such as TV or people you can just forget it, my social butterfly would much rather engage his audience than waste time eating. (side note- this frustrates the mess out of Zak and I) He is eating 5-7 oz per feeding on a good day. We also started solids this week which has been an adventure to say the least! A huge mess but he seems to be getting the hang of it. Just a few more weeks and we will dive into the world of veggies!
Sleeping: Praise the Lord in heaven this is the area we have seen the most improvement! Most nights our little man is sleeping at least until 5 or 5:30 only to need his paci replaced and then we start the day between 6:30 and 7:00. Zak and I continue to take shifts though because there are still plenty of random nights where Will will wake up at 3:00 or 4:00 unable to put himself back to sleep. But our greatest achievement in the last month was concurring naps! A month ago Will would only take 45 minute naps and then have to finish out his naps in the swing. We ditched the swing and did an intense week of sleep training with great success! Will now takes 2 hour naps twice a day with NO problem! Yay!
Milestones: Will continues to roll over but has recently found his feet! He loves to lay on his back and hold his feet up in the air. He is extremely alert and aware and has recently seemed to recognize when Zak or I are no longer in the room. I think separation anxiety is coming soon! Will is almost sitting up on his own and absolutely LOVES to stand up. He has a blast in his exersaucer and bumbo and is fascinated with Daisy and Tucker. He continues to be extremely happy and talkative and just like his momma, he loves people! The pediatrician says he is tracking ahead of the gang on development and my Dad is convinced he is a genius (If he is, he gets that from his daddy, not me!)

Dislikes: Currently, my little man is going through a funny little phase where he is absolutely scared to death of men... my Dad and Mr. Shipman have turned into the boogy man. His little lip starts quivering and then he loses it. We're hoping that little phase is short lived!
Cutie!! Love that pillow behind him in the last picture!
