4 months old


he's way too big.  {sigh}

my little buddy has his 4 month well check yesterday.  here's an update on all things jaxton ...

* 13 lbs 14 oz - 25th percentile
* 25 1/2 in - 70th percentile
* so basically, he's long and skinny
* growing wonderfully
* is a thumb sucker indeed
* can finally get his hands to his mouth, which has helped a lot in the car just now.  instead of screaming, he sucks on his fingers.  our ears can rest a little now.
* eats 5 oz every 3 hours
* sleeps from 7:30 pm to 7:30 am on average
* naps well.  usually takes one long nap (3 hours or so) and 2 short naps
* took his shots like a champ.  although he did scream until we got to the car and i put a bottle in his mouth.  poor guy!
* still working on getting his head and neck up more
* loves the stroller.  we went to ikea the other day and he stayed in the stroller for the entire hour we were in the store
* has the cutest little laugh
* is a really laid back boy
* drools like a mad man
* had a double ear infection and eye infection 2 weeks ago.  still has a double ear infection, so he's back on antibiotics for another 10 days.  hopefully this clears it up for good!

how is he so big?  the last 4 months has gone so fast, but it still seems like he's been in our family forever and ever.  just today he seems like a baby.  not a newborn anymore.  we got him a booster seat with a tray that he likes to sit at with a few toys in front of him.  he normally doesn't like tummy time, but did it like a champ today.  HE'S BIG!  and my heart loves him so.
