4 Month Update: Sebastian

DAILY ROUTINE:

Well you are spending more and more time awake.  You usually wake up happy. Stay awake for a 2-3 hours then nap for an hour or so then are awake for a couple more hours then nap again... During your awake time you are super curious and playful.

One thing is for sure you are a velcro baby, you want to be held always!

FOOD:

Exclusively breast fed!  The pediatrician inquired about when we are going to start you on solids.  We plan on doing that some time in your 5th or 6th month.

SLEEP: 

You are spending more time awake but still nap quite a bit, and prefer being held for naps.

Night: You are sticking with your pattern usually around 2/3 AM and the again around 6/7 AM so you have extended the amount you are sleeping, 

Day: You typically nap most of the morning starting at like 9/10 am, are awake during Maggie's nap and then go down for an afternoon nap around 3/4 pm you are usually awake again around 6ish and then go down for the night around 8/9 pm... You have started to get a little fussy a little after 7 until I get you down... not always but more often then not.

MILESTONES:

You can roll over from back to tummy and tummy to back, you can even spin around when you are on the floor.  You also are cooing up a storm.... all kinds of talking!

WHAT'S FUNNY:

You like to smile at your big sister, the dogs and Mommy and Muti!  We get you to laugh by making "shushing" sounds aggressively while bouncing you... Muti can get you to laugh by tickling you in a certain spot on your side towards your back right along your rib cage.  Maggie makes you laugh by blowing raspberries right in your face.

YOUR FAVORITE TOY:

You have been playing with a stuffed airplane, an activity cube which has different moving parts on each side, you have started enjoying your rainforest play mat and your sister's crib "tv".

CLOTHES SIZE:

You are wearing 3-6 month and the onesies are getting too small, you can still fit in the pants just fine, you are skinny and tall like your sister.  I pulled out some 6-9 months and you fit in some of them perfectly already!

HAIR COLOR:

Your hair is really starting to grow in.. but it is more blonde than strawberry blonde.

EYE COLOR:

They are BLUE!!
