4 months

Even though this post is a little late (considering he turned 4 months on Dec 23) I still wanted to make sure I did this for journaling purposes.

  • Tanner was 13lbs 12 oz at his appt (30%) and in the 50% for height (I dont remember the exact measurement.
  • He is STILL NOT sleeping through the night... grr. He goes to bed around 9, wakes up at 1, cries for about 15-30 min and then wakes up again at 4:30 to eat. Our pediatrician said to just let him cry through the 1:00am time and eventually he'll sleep through it, and that it would take about 3-5 days to get him to do it... well it's been about 3 weeks. Yah... we've gotten very good at strategically placing pillows over our heads. Needless to say we are anxious to get into our own place where he WON'T be in our room anymore. (BTW... he is waking up out of routine, NOT hunger... rice cereal most likely wont help...we're waiting until he's 6 months old per the pediatrician)
  • He isn't the happiest baby ever, BUT definitely is colic-y either.
  • He will "WILL" you to look at him and then when you finally do, he gives you the biggest smile.
  • He has a very cute but low voice and likes to whisper.
  • His laugh is the best noise in the world
  • He is VERY ticklish
{He always gets at least one arm out of his swaddle and comes up with the funniest sleeping positions... silly boy!}

{Tanner has found his thumb, since he won't take a binky, I'm not too worried. He only uses it when he's playing and not to soothe himself.}

{It's still way adorable to watch him suck and gnaw on it.}

{Tanner loves his sister and vice versa... It's so cute to watch them interact. I can't wait til they can play together.}

{Brooke is very sweet to share her "Princess Garbies", but I dont think she realized that he would just drool on them...}
