Owen, you are already 4 months old! At four months, you...
-Are taking about 7 ounces in your bottle and you LOVE to eat. You get really mad when we stop half way to burp you and make it very clear that you want your food NOW
-You are wearing 6-9 month onesies now and mostly 6 month outfits. It's incredible how fast you grow out of your clothes:)
-You slept through the night! You are now on a pretty set schedule of waking up between 6:30-7 and having your first bottle, being awake for two hours, taking a nap for two hours, waking up to eat, staying awake for two hours, sleeping for two hours, waking up to eat again, then being awake until bedtime (sometimes taking a quick 3rd nap). You have consistently slept through since that first night and it has made Mommy and Daddy feel like new people!
-You got to experience your first Tulip Time. You went to the parade with Mommy and Daddy and your friends Charlotte and Natalie and their mommies. You weren't so sure about the bands-they were a little loud for you
-You giggled for the first time this month, and have decided that "Zippity Do Dah" is the most hilarious song you've ever heard-it makes you laugh every time. You also like to laugh in the bath tub when Daddy makes up silly songs about washing your hair
-At your 4 month appointment, you were 25 1/2" long and 15 pounds, 10 ounces. You are in the 75th percentile for both height and weight (we're not sure where you got the height from!). Dr. Miller commented that it's amazing to think that we were ever worried about you gaining weight:) You had your shots and handled them pretty well-you were cranky for a few days, but then you felt better
-You celebrated Mommy's first Mother's Day. You and Daddy made breakfast in bed and then gave Mommy a very pretty Willow Tree Figurine of a Mommy, Daddy, and baby. It made Mommy cry:)
-You are much more interested in what's going on around you. You love to be outside, and especially love to watch your puppy run around the back yard
-You love your nighttime routine-you have your last bottle, take your bath, take your Prevacid, then rock in your rocker with Mommy or Daddy and your lovey while we read you a book, then we say our prayers, and tuck you into bed and then start your CD. You have been listening to the same CD for the past 4 months at bedtime and really seem to like it
-You are hooked on your lovey. It was a gift from one of Mommy's co-workers, and we have found that you have to have it in order to sleep. You wrap your little fingers into it and pull it up by your face (still makes Mommy nervous) and go right to sleep. Ever since you were only a month old, that blanket is the only thing that will calm you down when you're upset. We call it your magic lovey, because it really is amazing how comforting it is to you
-You only wear cloth diapers now-both during the day and at night. Mommy and Daddy love using the cloth diapers and you don't seem to mind it. We do lots of laundry, but don't have to keep buying disposables and you have never had a diaper rash
