Fowler- 3 and 4 months

I've let time slip away from me when it comes to posting.  I've enjoyed just hanging out with my boys.

 

                              

 

Fowler had his 4 month check-up on the 17th.  The shots resulted in a slight fever and an entire day of sleep.  Fowler woke up long enough to eat and was right back asleep.  At his appointment he weighed 13 lbs 2 oz  (I thought the nurse said 10 oz, but the dr said 2).  This puts him in the 10th percentile.  He was 25 inches long which means he is in the 40th percentile for height.  He is a long and thin baby.
Currently he is:

• establishing his nap routine.  He takes a two hour morning nap and a two hour afternoon nap.  He will take 2-3 30 minute power naps throughout the day.  Those are usually him just drifting off while I'm cooking or while he is playing on his play mat.  At night he typically falls asleep between 8-9 and wakes around 6.  He eats and goes right back to sleep for about another hour or two.
• He is eating rice cereal in the evenings and I just started offering green beans.  Fowler wasn't a fan of green beans after about 3 bites.
• He has excellent control of his head
• He HATES tummy time, but is getting better at it.  We slacked on tummy time up until a few weeks ago because his reflux was so bad.  He still ends up spitting up nearly every time, but it isn't as bad.
• He has been sitting in his high chair and for the most part he likes it.
• He can grasp a toy and has even learned how to take his pacifier in and out of his mouth.
• His favorite things are: his play mat, lights and music, his big brother, and just cuddling.
• Loud/sudden noises scare him to the point of him letting out an alarming scream.  It's pitiful.  He is very sensitive to sound like his big brother Dylan. 
• His laugh and smile are contagious!

We are working on:

• sitting up
• increasing solids
• getting him out and about more (Michael is working at our new house EVERY evening and all day on Saturdays, so we have been somewhat stuck at home).
