Ivor - 4 Months

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Month: 4 - June 26, 2017

Height: 24in - 23%

Weight: 12lbs 2oz - 6%.  He is starting to balance out on the tiny end just like big sis! Apparently I just have small children, haha! But his belly is WAY bigger than hers ever was.

Diaper Size: 2

Clothes Size:  3 month rompers fit perfect and I just realized he fits into a lot of 6 month onesies. I definitely need to bump his PJs up to 6mo soon because they are definitely too short.. oops. It's crazy Tilly was just out of newborn sizes at this age!

Sleep:  He is pretty consistent here with night time.  He is asleep by 9/9:15pm and then average sleeps until 7am.  Sometimes he wakes a little before or a little after that. He typically just eats and goes right back to bed though until 9am or so.  I really want to get him to sleep earlier at night, we just haven't figured that out yet! ha He does actually go to sleep most nights around 7:30 or so and will sleep until that last feeding and "bedtime".  The only thing is he wants to be held that last stretch before bedtime.    Day time there isn't a set schedule really.  He normally is awake about an hour or an hour and a half tops before he is ready for a nap again.  He either wants to be held for naps, or he will sleep in my bed with the boppy pillow around his head.  Random, I know.  His longest nap actually works out perfect and is when she naps.. so that is nice!  He still sleeps in the pack n play in our room at night and is tightly swaddled.  We plan on moving him to his crib soon and probably ditching the swaddle, which I am so nervous about.  Hopefully over the next month or so I can get him to nap in there.. fingers crossed! Also now that he is 4 months, I am terrified if he is going to do the crazy regression I have heard of.  Tilly never did, so PLEASE copy your big sis on this one little man and sleep right through it! haha

Eat:  He's been eating a lot more frequent during the day the last 2 or so weeks and normally only goes about 2 hours in between. I'm thinking he's at a growth spurt. It can be exhausting feeding him so much during the day, but at least he eats fast and isn't doing that at night.. thankful mama!

Likes:  Same here.. ME! haha  He also likes to snuggle, his pacifier, and to watch big sister.  He only really uses the pacifier when he is sleepy and grumpy.  It's weird because he normally keeps it in the whole time he naps, but at night he spits it out within 5 minutes and doesn't have it all night. Another thing Tilly didn't do.. the pacifier, swaddle, or breastfeeding.  I feel like a first time mom with some things!  He also loves to sit up and be able to look around. He is very observant!  Oh gosh, and his hands in his mouth.  He is always a slobbery mess these days with those hands.

Dislikes:  Being too hot or too cold.  He also doesn't like getting too sleepy.  If he even gets a little bit over tired, he is MAD!  Oh, and he does not like tummy time.. does any baby really like it though?!? ha

Extra Updates:  Things are really going great and he is such a sweet, snuggly little boy. He is hands down a clone of his daddy, so obviously I think he is just the cutest! :)  He also did awesome on vacation and I was so impressed with him.  He basically just slept a TON! Thanks little man! :)  We are so excited to keep watching him grow and turn into a little boy.  I love watching his relationship with Tilly grow more and more and I can't wait until they get to play more together and become the best of friends!  We love you little man.. so very much!
