Baby Leeland is already 4 months old! This is my absolute favorite baby age! He is so cuddly and interactive and smiley and chatty but he isn't moving all over the place despite his best efforts!
Little man is 15 lbs which seems so big to me but is still around the 40%. He is outgrowing most 3 month clothes and heading into 3-6 month size. He is still doing great with nursing which every month we go along without a dip in my supply I am grateful for!
He loves his siblings and is particularly drawn to his Daddy and big brothers - funny how that works! But he remains a big snuggler with Mama and is even taking more naps on me again which I am loving! He's really discovering his voice and smiles and giggles all the time. For the most part he is a happy content little guy. Our biggest struggles remain bedtime. We thought we were getting into a routine but I don't know if it is the 4 month growth spurt or the 4 month sleep regression but he's fighting us to get to sleep at night and not going down until around 1 in the morning and then waking every 3 hours or so. Hopefully this is just a phase and we will get him back adjusted soon. We feel like we are back to the newborn phase and are pretty tired parents again.
Little man has totally amazed us this month as he is rolling all over the place already and tries with all his might to crawl. Fortunately he hasn't figured that out yet, but I am concerned he is going to be a super early crawler. I would love for him to stay in one spot and continue to be snuggly but he appears to have ambitious goals! We have started the transition to him napping in his room and then we will work on getting him in his room. I am not in a big hurry but with his ability to roll all over combined with him being a very light sleeper, I am sure he will sleep better in his room after the initial transition period.
We have started dabbling in solids with him (a few days before 4 months, shhh). Sometimes he has had interest and other times he hasn't which we are fine letting him lead the way. But he amazed me yet again with how quickly he figured out the spoon like it was no big deal! He hasn't tried too much but I think apple with some oatmeal is the winner so far!
Baby Boo, we are having so much fun with you! You have brought even more joy into our lives! We all adore you and love cheering you on in every tiny little thing you do! You have such a fun and sweet personality starting to evolve and we are so thankful God gave you to our family! Here's to another fun month of watching you grow!
