Looky dere

We have had a rough week or so with this boy. He has been clingy, fussy, up every hour, nursing every hour, ugh. We have been exhausted... Especially since he has never been like this. Ever. Going from 8-10 hour stretches of sleep to 1-3 hour stretches has made us a little crazy. I have asked the doctor, friends, other moms, my own mother... Looked it up online, even contacted a child sleep specialist. I had thought it was time to stop swaddling since he can roll over and all... but when i tried that, it was the worst night ever!

We chalked it up to the "4 month sleep regression"... Putting him down for an earlier bedtime and shortening his awake time during the day.
That helped, for all of one day and night. I heard "it's time to start solids"-- nope. "Put him on his belly to sleep"--not a chance. "Let him cry it out"--not for me.

Then today, I found the culprit. His first tooth. 3 months before his sister ever got hers. Here we go...

Big guy

This little man is rolling over! Grabbing toys, drooling, laughing, cooing, and trying to sit up! Time is going by way too fast... Especially with two kids at home. I need just a little more time with this stage, cause boy it is fun.







4 months

Wyatt is 4 months...Already?! He was such a trooper at his check up. Flirting with all the ladies...giggling and smiling... And only shed a few tears for his shots. Weighing in at 15 pounds he is in the 50th percentile for weight and at 26 inches long he measured in the 75th percentile. Looking back at his sisters records she was 17 pounds and 85th percentile at 4 months. It's almost like he is a runt for us!


It has been such a joy to watch him grow. He is SUCH a good baby, an angel really.
He only cries if something is wrong. We are excited to see what kind of boy he grows to be.
