4 Months Old

Asher is four months old!

Can it really be that another month has gone by?

At four months:

Weight: 14 pounds 11 ounces (50 percentile)
Height: 24.75 (60 percentile)
Head: 16.5 (50 percentile)

-Asher goes to bed at about 8:30 and sleeps 8 or 9 hours.  He then goes back to sleep until around 8:30 to 9:00.  When he was sick he got used to waking up in the night and eating around 1 or 2.  So after he got better he was in a bad habit and we had to let him cry it out.  It took about a week to get back to sleeping the night.

-He is really good about going down for naps, but his nap lengths are pretty inconsistent.  Sometimes it is just 45 minutes and other times it is over 2 hours.  Usually though it is somewhere around an hour.

-He still doesn't like his carseat, but we took the head support out (poor guy was being totally squished!) and he seems to at least be doing somewhat better.

-He is constantly drooling.

-He has gotten really good at grabbing things if you put them near his hands.  He loves holding his rattles, burp cloths and blankets and then immediately puts them all in his mouth.

-He loves to stand on his legs.  He still loves laying on his back and kicks and talks.  He also still likes lying on his side and sucking his thumb when he's tired.

-He sucks on his left thumb while he holds onto that hand with his right hand. 

-He giggles all the time.

-He has now rolled over both directions.  Back to tummy first (November 16th, 3 1/2 months old) and tummy to back just yesterday!

-He has started to pucker his lips up and suck on them.  So he either makes a little fishy face or else looks like a grandpa without his dentures in.  It's pretty funny and makes us laugh.

-He loves his reflection.  

-He is a happy, happy boy.  Usually he will smile at anyone who talks baby talk to him, although in big groups he does get pretty serious.

-He is still wearing size 2 diapers and wears 3-6 month clothes.  

see one month, two months and three months.

Post Edit:  He went to the doctor today so his stats are now listed and here are his pictures from this morning. (12/6/2011)

Before his shots, poor little guy didn't know what was coming.

And after (during) the shots.
