four months!

happy four month birthday little dude!!!



stats:

weight: 13 lbs 7 oz (23%) (increase of 2.4 lbs since two month visit)
height: 24 in (16%) (increase of 1.5 in since two month visit)
head circumference: 17.25 in (84%) (increase of 1.5 in since two month visit)

unfortunately (well i guess fortunately for graham), the little dude didn't get his 4 month vaccines today. dr. bill thought he sounded a little too wheezy for his liking. i went over everything we've been through (since we weren't able to see him for the bronchiolitis issues) and told him how the nebulizer seemed to work at the hospital, but all they sent us home with was the inhaler. so dr. bill wanted to try a nebulizer treatment in the office to see if it did help.

10 minutes later...yup, the nebulizer definitely helped. so we were sent home with our very own nebulizer and a months worth of albuterol! we'll have to give graham treatments three times a day until next tuesday when he goes in a for a follow-up, and hopefully his vaccines. daddy will have to go in for those alone!!

but let's change the topic and talk about all the milestones that have happened this month:

- outgrew size 1 diapers and are now in 1-2 diapers...soon making the transition to 2's!
- are mainly in 3-6 month clothes, although some of your 0-3 month sleepers and onesies still fit.
- sleeping through the night i'd say 50% of the time. you'll give me a good stretch of 8 hour nights...then it's back to up every 4 hours.
- wake-up call is usually betwen 5:15-6am.
- you have definitely found both your hands and your feet
- you have also found your thumb, and if you don't have your binkie, the thumb is usually in your mouth!
- you tolerate tummy time now. still not a huge fan, but more than you were.
- and even though you haven't rolled over yet during tummy time, you like to scoot yourself around in a circle, which is fun to watch.
- you smile as a reaction now!
- LOVE baths! they were very small too, but i think some splashing was being done during the last bath.
- you would much rather be sitting up or standing than laying on your back.
-you love to blow rasberries and are quite the little taker these days. you press your lips where it looks like you're trying to say 'boo' back to me.
- you are definitley a drooler now!! as the nurse put it...you are pre-teething!!


your firsts this month:
