4 months!

Benjamin is 4 months old!!



Ben is such an easy-going, smiley, giggly, happy baby! At 4 months old Ben:
  • enjoys tummy time for longer stretches of time...thanks to being able to hold his head up!
  • loves to put his fist in his mouth. Not sure if he will be a thumb sucker...at times he'll suck his right or left thumb & then other times it's the index & middle finger together....he's not picky! He just needs something to suck on!
  • enjoys holding toys...usually putting them in his mouth too!
  • goes to bed around 9:30/10pm and wakes up ~7:30am. I'm looking forward to when he goes to bed earlier in the evening! I can't wait for evenings without kids!
  • wakes up 1 time in the night. It's so unpredictable what time he'll wake up. It could be anywhere from 3am-5:30am. I'm eager for a full nights rest!
  • usually wakes up talking to himself
  • poops every 3 days or so. I know...that's a weird thing to want to remember...but it's so different than what I can remember with Jaelyn! Watch out when he does finally poop...it usually means bath time & laundry time!
  • LOVES to watch whatever is on TV. We have to block his view if we want to watch TV!
  • is not rolling yet...but can get up on his side. I'm not helping him learn this trick! It's nice having him stationary! :)
  • has an older sister that adores him. We'll often find her giving him kisses/hugs, offering him toys to play with, & saying "I love Ben"!
  • weighs 15 lbs 12 oz (75%) and is 26" tall (90%)
