4 months old (a month late)

So this will be a quick post because I don't have much to record since I'm already in 5 month post mode.

Elijah weighed in at 17 lbs, 10 oz at his 4 month appointment. He was 27 1/4 inches long. He continues to grow on both fronts at a nice steady rate.

We considered staring solids but because he is not "regular" and still requires "help" most weeks to stool, the doctor recommended we just wait another month. 

Elijah started sleeping very well on a schedule. He takes two long naps each day, goes down for bed around 6:30PM, and aside from being woken to eat around 10:30 he sleeps until around 8AM.

Elijah's personality continues to become more evident as he grows. He LOVES his big brother and is very social, smiling and cooing at anyone who talks with him. His ability to grab, feel and taste items has become quite refined in just a few weeks. He still has to focus very closely but he will reach out and grasp just about anything within reach. He also very much enjoys sucking on the left thumb of his.


We are so blessed to have another beautiful healthy baby boy. We love you Elijah.
