Ryan: 4 Months


All about me at 4 months:





My weight:  10 lbs 10 oz (on 1/22/13)

My length:  23"

What size I wear:  A cozy 0-3 months.  The newborns won't fit over my big head anymore!

What I like to eat: Breastmilk and a little bit of formula

What I like to do: Swing, sit in my bouncy seat, eat my hands, look at books, listen to music, and watch my piano toy light up

What I don't like: Being hungry and getting shots

How I sleep:  I sleep through the night!  Sometimes I don't go to bed until late - maybe 11pm, but when I do, I usually don't wake up until 7am.  I sleep in my crib most nights though sometimes I need help falling asleep.  Mommy gives in and lets me sleep in my swing sometimes :)

Sounds I make: New cries, coos, and lots of babbling!  (goo-goo, ma, ooh)

Who came to visit: I got to see my mom's side of the family and my dad's cousins for Christmas.  It was nice to see my uncle Justin & Jake for the first time.

Did I go anywhere?  Just to see family!  There is a lot of flu going around, so I stayed put most days unless I was going next door while mommy went to work.

Things I learned to do: I can hold my head up on my own much better now and do okay on my tummy when I have something to entertain me.  I'm smiling, giggling, and cooing!  I can follow objects and light up when I see familiar people :)  I can also grab objects and put them to my mouth, and I love to put my hands together to play with them.  I drool more now so somethings I have to wear a bib!

Cool things that happened: I had my first, second, and third Christmas... and slept through all of them!!  I got to meet my Uncles and spent lots of time with Grammy. 

What else?  I still have navy blue eyes and am getting more and more hair.  My doctor says I'm growing at a nice rate.  Although I'm in less than the 2nd percentile for weight compared to full-term babies my age, I'm in the 25th for preemies!
