Hudson's 4 Months Old!!




Growth: He's 19 pounds and 26 inches long. He's off the charts in weight (!!!) and at the 85 percentile for height. He is one big boy! I asked the doctor if she was concerned, at all, about his weight. She said that she wasn't because he's not moving too much, yet. Once he starts crawling around, he will start to thin out, a little. :)
Health: He's still very healthy. I was concerned about his "flat head". However, it has rounded out a little and the doctor wasn't concerned, at all.
Eating/Sleeping: His last feeding is usually around 7:15 pm. We put him to bed at 7:30 and he wakes up usually between 8 and 8:30am. B says that he sometimes hears him at 5:30ish (talking or making noises), but then he falls back to sleep. I never hear that... I'm such a heavy sleeper! I feed him around 8:30 or 9am. We play and then I put him down for a nap at around 10:30. He sleeps for about 1.5 hours. I feed him at noon. He's usually up for about two hours. I feed him at 2 and then put him down for another nap. He'll usually sleep until around 4:30ish (sometimes he'll wake up a little earlier, sometimes he'll sleep later). I feed him, again, and then we'll try and keep him up until 7:15 and the routine starts over. There are days when our schedule is a little different (like on Sundays and Wednesdays). On those days, he sometimes takes 3 naps, because he either wakes up earlier (I have to wake him) or stays up later.
Personality: H is still SO pleasant! It takes a lot for him to really get upset, and when he does get upset, it's not for very long. He can calm himself down pretty well. He still absolutely loves his sister. She can make him smile just by entering the room.
He's very social. He doesn't like being in a room all by himself. He'll let pretty much anyone old him, and he hasn't started "making strange" (I don't know if I'm using that phrase in the right context), yet. :)
He loves to laugh, loves music, Papa's beat-boxing, is super ticklish, and very talkative. He is such a gift!
Other random things:
  • He's wearing 6 month + clothes. He's wearing medium AIOs and size 1 2-steps. I'm thinking of trying large AIOs at night.
  • H started sleeping more than 12 hours at night on July 10th.
  • H rolled over from his back to his front on August 3rd... he was at our friends' house (they were babysitting). We still have, yet, to see him do it... but we believe them! :)
