Happy 4 Months Pierce!


Our sweet Baby Pierce continues to be a joy! He seems to hit spurts of growing out and then up. He is teething like a mad man but aside from waking early from a nap he NEVER fusses. He is a dream baby. He had an ear infection, big brother swallowed a quarter to the tune of $12,000, we've been on vacation, and we just lost my sweet grandma and celebrated her life today. 

Sweet boy, you were not forgotten just somewhere in the mix, life happened.... but here it goes

Weight: 16 lbs, 2.5 oz (66%)
Height: 25 inches (42%)
Head: 42.9 cm (85%)


Sleeping: Still sleeping like a champ, 7:45pm- 7:45am then a morning nap from 9:30-11:30 an afternoon nap from 1:30-3:30 and a short catnap around 5:30.

Eating:
At 4 months we moved you to a 4 hour schedule so you eat 7:45am, 11:30am, 3:30am, 7:30am and then we still do a 10:30pm dreamfeed because we are too chicken to give it up. I am holding off on solids because your weight is great and frankly the thought of doing bottles and solids right now with an almost 3 year old is not super appealing for mealtimes. I imagine we will jump on that between 5 and 6 months!

Milestones: Pierce continues to roll tummy to back but has yet to roll back to tummy which for now, I am fine with! He sits in the bumbo for long periods of time and LOVES the exersaucer. My favorite favorite thing though is his super happy belly laugh that he lets out when he sees momma. Pierce loves watching his big brother and generally just loves kids.  My guess is by 5 months he may be sitting on his own but definitely by 6 months. He pulls up to stand and continue to babble up a storm. Pierce is so contented that I often say, if all my babies were like this I could have 10 kids! (But no worries, we will NOT be having 10 kids).  The only pitiful thing lately has been how badly he has been teething. Three fingers are in his mouth at all times!
