Lincoln - 4 months


My little boy is growing up so fast although he’s still a little peanut compared to the other two at this age and I just love it J.  We had his four month checkup this week and everything looks great.  He was 14.9 lbs and 25 inches long which was 50ish percentile.  Below are some of his likes and dislikes at this age.




Likes:
-Looking in the mirror.  He just giggles and giggles when you hold him in front of a mirror and he can look at you and himself
-sucking on his hands/fingers.
-His brothers.  They are usually pretty crazy running around yelling and screaming and he is just engrossed in anything they are doing if they are near him
-playing on the floor.  He’s showing more interest in toys and starting to grab things.  He’s also getting close to rolling over and will roll to his side
-Music.  Will calm down pretty quickly if he’s upset and we play music or he smiles and giggles if you sing him songs.



Dislikes:
-His car seat.  He cries almost every time he’s in it and in the car.  The only hope is that he will fall asleep during the drive. 
-Gas.  This poor little guy is still having issues with gas.  It got better for a while and then within the last two weeks was really bad again and we are not sure why.  It affects his sleeping at night which is no fun for him or mom.
-Sleeping. Unfortunately we haven’t been the greatest sleeper lately.  I think this is mostly due to the gas issue but he was doing so well for a while going 3-4 hours and now is waking up almost every hour.  I’m really hoping we can get past this issue soon.
-Has a love/hate relationship with his swaddle.  He won’t fall asleep very well without it and wakes up quicker if he doesn’t have it but at the same time wants to bust out so he can stretch.  We will probably be working on transitioning him out of this over the next month.

Other than when he has gas or is in his car seat he is such a happy and content little guy.  We just love him to pieces and can’t wait to see what new changes we’ll see over the next month.
