Judah at 4 months

Happy boy! We are so thankful that Judah has continued to get calmer & happier every week. He still only likes to nap in a bed so we don't stay out too long, but other than that he's gotten much easier. These pictures were more challenging to take this month because he was so busy grabbing his toes, "talking" & cooing, and interacting with sister that it was hard to get one of this wiggle worm. He's not burning too many calories though - he weighed in at the pediatrician today at 17 lbs 8 oz (90th %) & was 27 1/4 inches long (off the charts - over 100th %!). His head was 42 cm (5oth %).

A few from early in April...

eating: every 2 1/2 to 4 hours.

sleeping: napping 3 to 5 times a day, anything from 45 minutes to 2 1/2 hours - you never know! At night he goes down around 8 or 9, gets a dream feed at 10 or 10:30, then sleeps until 4 to 6 am (6 to 8 hours of sleep for me - yeah!), then back down until around 7 am.

likes: the bird mobile in his crib, his jumparoo, his feet, being read to, praise baby dvd's in the van, bath time, putting his hands & everything else in his mouth

dislikes: being in the carseat when he's tired, being held when he's ready to go to sleep
