4 Months Old

Hunter with Tigger at 4 months old

He is just so cute!

Love that smile

He is just so cute… oh wait, I already said that.

We just got out Hailey’s old Jumperoo and so far it seems to be a big hit!!

Hailey (5 1/2 years) and Hunter (4 months)

Sharing a little moment :-)

New stuff from this last month:

No more colic!!  Woo Hoo!!  At around 3 1/2 months Hunter had his last screaming, colicky evening.  I am soooooo thankful that is over.  I have never in my life heard a baby cry like he did for so long.  It was the worst.  We both spent many evenings crying together.

Hunter “talks” to us a lot more.  He goos and coos and waits for us to respond, then he talks some more.  It’s so cute!  His little giggle is so wonderful to hear.  Hailey is the best at making him laugh.  He sure does love her and gives her lots and lots of giggles.  Hunter is so social- he loves to smile and talk to everyone!  He never wants to be left alone, even for a minute.  He always wants someone to be talking to him and paying attention to him.  It makes it a little hard to get much of anything done.  But as long as I talk to him about whatever I am trying to do he is usually happy.

Hunter goes to bed around 7:30 every night.  At about 7:15 he starts to fuss and act tired.  It’s the only consistent part of his day.  The number of times he gets up during the night really varies.  Some nights he is up every hour.  Then there are other nights he only gets up twice.  Naps are never very good.  He will sleep for about 30 minutes at the most.  If I hold him, he’ll sleep longer but that is such a bad habit that I am really trying not to do it.  Sometimes if we are out and he falls asleep in his car seat he will stay asleep for a good 2 hour nap, but that never ever happens when he is at home in his bed.

Hunter is still breastfeeding.  He usually eats every 2-3 hours during the day.  At night he goes for some longer stretches, up to 4 hours.  He actually took a bottle a couple of times this last month.  So hopefully the bottle refusal is over.

At Hunter’s 4 month check up he weighed 16 pounds (70th percentile) and was 26 inches (85th percentile).  He is still wearing 3-6 month clothes but I don’t think he will be for much longer.  He is finishing up a package of size 2 diapers but is definitely ready to move up to size 3 diapers!  (Size 3 diapers are about $16 for a package of 96 in the Luvs brand.)
