Four Months!!

We can hardly believe that Rowan is four months old! He is getting so big! I look at all his preemie newborn clothes and can hardly remember how small he was!! He has his four month Dr. appointment today at 1pm so I will add more stats to this post later today!

What's New:
- Rowan is SO active!! He loves to kick and turn to his side, reach for toys put EVERYTHING in his mouth!

- He has started this new thing where he can make a complete 360 in his crib throughout the night! We start him off in one direction, and by the AM he is the complete opposite way! Funny little guy!

- Still not a good sleeper... he LOVES to be awake and see everything that is going on... hardly a dull moment with this little guy! Down to 2 naps instead of 3 and those naps are pretty darn short! 



- Still up atleast 2-4 times per night... wants his pacifier (usually) or is hungry (eats a TON!)... currently he is going down at 7pm, then usually up at about 12:30am and 4:00am... super fun for Mommy!!

- Quite the eater! I will be interested to see today how much he weighs (last check a few weeks ago he was 12 lbs)... I am guessing he is up a couple! He eats 6oz about every 3 hrs during the day... :)


- So tall!! He is busting through all his 3 month footies... he is still lean, but tall (just like daddy) so it is a challenge to dress this little one!

- BIG hands and feet! He is wearing 12-24 month socks... we can hardly believe how big his little mits are either!! Maybe he will be a tall one!


- SO loving and happy... he loves to smile at you when you catch eye contact with him.. his new thing is to giggle when you walk with him up the stairs with someone behind watching... it's so funny and super cute!


- Passive demeanor.. he likes things CALM.. doesn't like too much noise or over stimulation.. he gets super angry and screams when there is too much going on... that is like mommy... I hate to be in real loud places!


- Holding his head up like a champ!! He is so good now at holding it up.. can sit in his bumbo with no supports, tummy time is becoming a lot easier for him! We are so proud of him!

- Starting to roll!! Not totally from tummy to back or vice versa, but he can go from side to side... he smiles so big when he does it!

- Therapy going well! He is improving so much with his neck.. still left side dominant.. we are really working on reaching with his right hand and opening his fingers to grab things... he prefers the left!

- We just LOVE him... he is the light of our lives...  :)
