At 4 months old Caleb was quite the big boy weighing in at 15lb 10oz- 75%
and he was 26 3/4 in. long- 97%.
So as of right now we have two tall, well fed children :) Caleb certainly likes to eat! For a while he was taking 7-8 6oz. bottles everyday... which is like 42-48 oz. of milk each day!!! That is CRAZY babies his age are suppose to eat about 36 oz. each day. He has started to cut back a little and now he's eating about 36-42 oz. each day- this is a much more acceptable amount.... for a breast feeding mom- He'll be on formula much sooner than Devyn if he keeps this up :)
Since I last posted Caleb has done so much! A little before he turned 3 months he found his hands and I posted picks of him sucking his thumb... this he still loves and right now EVERYTHING is going in his mouth. The drooling has really kicked it.
About 3 1/2 months he rolled over from his back to his belly and 2 weeks later he was rolling over from his belly to his back. And about 2 days after he turned 4 months old he was rolling down the hall..... already on the move! Right now he's trying his best to learn to crawl- he pushes and pushes with those little legs, but he just can't seem to get himself going anywhere just yet.
We've been working on sitting up and he can sit for a short time unassisted. Some of Caleb's favorite things are swinging in his swing, watching TV (I know, bad mommy for letting him watch tv), getting hugs from his sister, playing peek-a-boo, and rubbing noses with mommy and daddy. Caleb is such a happy baby. He is always laughing and smiling. He gets so excited playing with his toys and he just laughs and laughs. Caleb also loves to reach out and grab things... especially your cheeks if your holding him up close to your face---and he's got quite the grip.
On the sleeping front we are still not doing very well. This kid just likes to eat too much! We always start the night out with him in his crib, but after he wakes up for his first night feeding, he's usually in our bed- or with us in the recliner- until the next feeding. This ensures maximum sleeping for everyone- unfortunately it's still not enough! I can't wait for him to start sleeping through the night on a consistant basis. We do get a few nights here and there where he'll sleep through... just not enough!
Well, I think that catches up on all the new things Caleb is doing and I'll try my best to keep updates more frequent! Enjoy his cutie pictures
In his swing.... and everything in the mouth!
Ohh... look at those....
