Julian's 4 months old!


Yesterday my lil chubs, aka Snickers, aka lil man turned 4 months! He is getting so big! Speaking of which, his 4 month appointment was today and he is a whopping 17.2 pounds and 25.5 inches. That puts him in the 89% for weight and 73rd % for height. Like I said, he is a BIG boy :) When I took him to the Dr., all the nurses gathered around the scale oohing and ahhhing at him. Once in the room, Dr. Rampley insisted on taking him back in to the office and showing him off to her co-workers while Bella and I waited. It was super cute, he sure loves all the attention! She was impressed with how active he was and how much cooing he does. Here are the things is doing so far:

-He is rolling over from back to tummy and also tummy to back.

-He can sit unassisted for about 3-5 seconds.

-he loves to giggle and smile. He is a very happy baby and loves everyone.

-He has started to reach for things , including my hair :)

-He is sleeping from 8 until 5:30-6 every night. He hasnt waken up in the middle of the night in almost 2 months. We put him down in his crib wide awake, and he puts himself to sleep. We have NEVER had to "let him cry it out", which I am so thankful for because that was rough when we did it w/ Bella.

-He will roll across the living room

-he has a few teeth that are starting to come through

-he has started on cereal and he hates it so far!

-He still wants to be held most of the day. If he is not held, he wants us to be near him. He is a real snuggle bug.

-He is predominately breast fed, however does get some formula. He definitely prefers breast milk. He is drinking 7 oz at a time-CHUBBS!

-when he hears his sister's voice, he will look around the room until he finds her and give her a humongous smile that melts my heart.

Julian has been such a joy. He is a very happy baby and in turn makes our entire family happy. He has made our family complete and I feel so blessed to have him.
