Liam is 4 months old!!

BIG LIAM!
-Liam weighs 18lbs 5oz!! Can you believe it? He is 26 3/4 inches long. He's HUGE! Syd at 4 months was 16lbs 8oz and 26 1/2 inches, so he still has her beat!

-He is still sleeping 10-12 hours a night! We're so lucky!!

-He's now obsessed with rolling over. OBSESSED. Everytime I lay him on the floor, his flips right over, and then flips back over...it's too funny!

- He is still eating 7 oz at each feeding, and cereal twice a day. We just incorporated apples into his diet today and he seemed to really like them! I didn't think he would be picky :-)

-He enjoys sitting in his bumbo seat.

-He coos a lot still and now has this weird scream thing he does. He doesn't do it because he's mad or anything, he just does it to hear his own voice I think!

-He laughs ALL the time! The silliest things make him giggle. When I say words funny or babble.

-He loves to play peek-a-boo. Everytime I say, "Peek-a=boo, I see you!" he responds with a coo or a laugh. He also likes to play patty-cake. His favorite part is when I pat his belly with his hands. He just laughs so hard!

-He tries to grab everything now. When we were in MN recently, he clinched onto a french fry and wouldn't let go! Jimmy had to break it in pieces to get it out of his hand!

-He's VERY oral...way more than Syd. He puts everything in his mouth.

He has favorite toys already. He loves his puppy (Leap Frog Scout). It's amazing! You can program it to say your child's name, favorite color and food, and you can select the songs it plays!! And he has a thumbie dinosaur Sydni got him when he was born and he snuggles that, too!!

-He naps now between 8:30-9:30am (he gets up between 6:30-7:30am) then sometimes (not very often) a short nap around 12-1pm and then about 45 minutes to an hour between 3:30-5pm and goes to sleep between 7 and 8:30pm.

-Bath time is either right before his night time bottle, or right after....depending on how persistent he's being about eating right after his late nap.

-He is still wearing some 12 month old clothes, more 12-18mo and even 18-24 month shirts! He is such a big guy!!!

-He wears a size 4 diaper. That seems HUGE.....but he's just a big guy!

-He's a finger chewer now, too. I think he's teething. It seems a little early, but you never know!

-He got 4 shots! He is so sad afterwards. He went to bed early. Thank goodness for tylenol!

  1. He's absolutely gorgeous! Wow, and I can't believe how big he is... but my kids are miniature-sized. LOL.

    My 6mo weighs 14lbs/26 inches. My first born only weighed 19lbs at one year old! haha!
