4 Months and Growing

Today is Tyler's 4 month birthday!

Happy Birthday, my precious baby boy!!

He's grown so much and is becoming a little man with each passing week. Some milestones this month were:

• He now weights 15 lbs and is 25 in long (he goes in for his 4 month shots on Friday).
• He's quickly groing out of his 0-3 mth clothes.
• He's now sleeping in his crib every night. He sleeps through the night (and has been since about 2 mths). Depending on how early he goes to sleep and how early/late he has his last feeding, will determine what time he wakes up in the morning. Anywhere between 3 am and 5 am. He also dreams and makes noises in his sleep.
• Tyler now holds his head up by himself.
• He loves to laugh and smile alot.
• He has strength in his legs to stand up, with a little help. He's so wanting to walk already.
• He's now eating nearly 40 oz a day (8 oz per feeding, 5 feedings a day) and is closely getting ready for the transition to baby food.
• He gets mesmorized by the tv. Whether its Mythbusters (there's a story about this for another time), or any funny cartoon we have on for him, we watches intently. (I wonder where he gets that from?? Uh, maybe his two couch potato parents?? LOL) He's definately going to be a visual learner like me.
• He's not teething yet but he's very close. You can see the white caps almost close to coming through his gums and they are very sensitive. He's drooling alot more and loves to bite on a teething ring (or my finger).
• His hand/eye coordination is coming along slowly. We're also working on his ability (or should I say desire) to reach for things. He loves lights and sounds.
• He's still getting used to his tummy time but does pretty well at pulling himself up. He can roll himself over with a little help.

I'm so proud of my little baby boy. I can't wait to see what he learns in this next month!
