Building A Legacy

4 Months

4 Month Blessing
Weight: 15 lbs 3 oz (36%)
Height: 2 ft 1.5" (52%)

Marshall James is 
  • rolling over from back to belly (August 1st) and belly to back consistently. (yay!)
  • eating every 3 hours- 5 oz bottles
  • sleeping 1- 1 1/2 hrs each nap cycle
  • drooling like a crazy man! are teeth coming?
  • pulling himself up on his knees and scooting (yikes!)
  • starting to hold his own bottle (another yay!) and started sipping from a sippy cup
  • sucks his thumb more regularly during the day and is using his po less and less for sleep time
  • playing with his toys
  • loves attention from his brother and sister (mommy and daddy too!)
  • happy to wake up once throughout the night to suck down a bottle (I see sleep training in our near future)
  • still the very happiest kid I know!

Current Schedule:
7 am wake up & bottle
9 am nap time
10 am bottle and wake time
12 pm nap time
2 pm wake up & bottle
4 pm nap time
5 pm bottle and wake time
7 pm bed
8 pm sleepy bottle
11 pm night bottle
3-4 am- bottle (if he wakes)

We are really working hard to eliminate the 3 or 4 am bottle but with all the busyness this summer has brought on- sometimes it's just easier to feed him and jump back in bed. 

Eagerly awaiting Marshall James 4 month well visit on 8/19 to see how he's growing :) Update coming soon.
