4 months old: Garrett-style

G man is doing really great. He's finally settled down and has become a happier baby. He can still throw his opinion out there, but I can definitely say he's happy! I can take him places and not be fearful of a total meltdown. He smiles at people and will even go to sleep without yelling first. Life has become so much more fun.

We still struggle with his sleeping pattern. He's up at least once a night, sometimes more. We have found an early bath and bedtime seems to help, but nothing is ever fool proof with him :)

At 4 months, Garrett weighs 13 lbs, 6.5 ounces. He's 24.25 inches tall. He's around the 15th %ile for both. His head circumference is in the 55th %ile, but I don't remember the number. Interestingly, Luke at the same age weighed .5 ounces less and was a quarter inch taller!

•G still wants to sit up! He's not quite there but would if he could.
•His head control is great! And he's awesome at holding his head up during tummy time.
•This kid can still light up a room with his smile. He's very handsome and he knows how to win you over even when you're frustrated with him.
•I'm finding he likes to be on his little routine and gets tired very easily. He's not a 'take along' baby.
•I'm still not eating dairy, but I'm about to start adding it back in. I've accidentally had some cheese, and he had no issues. I'm hoping to get that back soon. It really hasn't been too hard, but it can be inconvenient. Plus, I have a lot of frozen food that has dairy that I'd love to use!
•G attended his first wedding yesterday. My good friend, Alicia, got married. Like attended Emily's at this exact same age :)
•We're going to try formula soon for G too. I'm hoping one will work so that I don't have to worry about having pumped milk on hand.
•otherwise, I'm still slowly getting the hag of two kids. There are good days and days with setbacks. I feel like Luke still watches a bit too much tv, and he gets handed off a lot. I also know it'll continue to get better as G gets more on a schedule and not just on a routine.
