Owen at 4 Months

Weight: 15 lbs, 13 oz. (50-75th%) This is 5.5 lbs bigger than Graham at this age!!!! Praise Jesus.

Height: 26.5" (95th %) Who is this kid?!!

Tall baby!!

Clothing size: 6 months... But his pj's are getting pretty tight. Probably will move up to 9 months soon! Wow.

Diaper size: Cloth.

Feeding: Nursing every 2.5-3 hours... but a few days ago I started trying to stretch him to every 3 hours, which is only dropping one feeding during the day, but feels tons less consuming.

Sleeping: Sleeping through the night consistently!!!!!!!! Whew. I thought this day would never come. It feels awesome. I feed him the last time at 10pm, put him down around 10.30, and he sleeps til around 6.30am every day now. Praise Jesus. I am a new woman. Napping about 5 times a day.

Napping in the Ergo during a trip to the library.

Milestones: He's trying to roll over but just can't make it yet. He's started to grab at things. Refusing the Cheerios that Graham keeps offering him. (Eek!) And he still smiles, laughs, and coos ALL the time. So stinkin sweet. Our pediatrician couldn't get over what a happy, laughy baby he is. :)

Likes:  Being held all the time. Patty-cake. Baby voice talking/ faces/ attention. Trying to get his fingers in his mouth.

Dislikes: Tummy time. Getting into the carseat. His paci. Graham really likes to find pacis laying around the house and shove them into Owen's mouth. Owen is so chill with everything when it comes to Graham, so he just sits there but as soon as Graham lets go, Owen spits the paci out. 

Tummy time torture. :(

Adventures: Lots of time with family. Music class with big brother. Zoo Boo. Halloween. Big brother's 2nd birthday party (he slept through most of it).

Loving Nonnie time!!

Loved our time with them!!

The boys with Memaw and Pepaw at Zoo Boo. So fun!

Sweet little monkey for Halloween.

Trick or Treating!
It was so cold and rainy we only made it to about 4 houses.

What we couldn't live with out: A million really thick burp cloths. Seriously. I always say my two boys are as opposite as can be- from pregnancy to birth to their newborn habits... But the one thing they have in common so far is spitting up more than a burp cloth, his outfit, and my outfit can handle. We create a mountain of laundry every day and that smell feels permanently stuck in my nostrils. 

Best part of parenting this age: The smiles, giggles, and snuggles. Melts my heart.

I mean...

Hardest part of parenting this age: The fine line between living a sacrificial life and yet not drowning. I want to serve others but caring for two under two is sometimes all I can handle in a day. Sure do love these boys!!!

Dinner at Zoo Boo.
Most mealtimes end up with both boys in our laps.
So glad when Daddy's there to help. :)
