09-2-2010 - Little big man at 4 months

My mood while writing this blog: Smiling!

I can't believe four months has gone by already. He was so big at birth that it all seems so serreil to me. He had his visit today and everything is going wonderfully. He is 17' 6 oz and 27 inches long. My husband laughs because he is longer then my torso so I have to lay reclined with his feet hanging past my knees or sit his tiny hiny on the are of the chair in order for him to breast feed comfortabley. His ear infection and crupe have both cleared up so outside of the last of a cold he is perfect.

He inches himself across the floor on his toes and his head. Does mini push ups lifting himself up off the blanket and then back down. If you leave him on the floor with toys he will rock back and forth until he reaches what he wants. He absolutely loves tummy time. Especially when he catches himself in his mirror, then he will just talk to himself forever.He pulls himself up while holding my fingers and can almost sit up unassisted. He loves sitting and reaching for his stuffys, especially cow and piggy. He makes me nervous because I keep thinking he shouldn't be doing these things yet. Speaking of things he shouldn't be doing he is already eating like a champion. He loves pears, banana's, and sweet pototoes. He'll put up with peas if he has to but he will let you know he's not happy so no good clothes on pea night. The doctor told me today that he is healthy for his length but believe it or not should be eating more. Like 3 meals plus the breast all day as much as he wants until he pushes it or me away. This concerns me because he's already huge to me. His sisters were so tiny compared to him.

Because of his strength and size the doctor wants him to start using a excersaucer so off to the market we will go. He said just to the tips of his toes touches the floor so he can spin but not put lots of weight on his little legs. I am guessing this is to help with all that food he wants me feeding him.

We still aren't on a good enough schedule yet but we are working on it. I really would like it if he would not only sleep through the night but also start taking two good naps a day. Right now he hardly ever naps during the day and last night he wanted to play from 1am - 5:30am. I am so tired... Any how so that is my goal for now.

I am so in love with my little big man. Logan is so happy all the time. I stare into his big baby blues and loose myself. He laughs so much and like today even with the shoots he soothed himself to sleep with a song. And I wish you all could see his sisters with him. They both want to hold him and sing to him and read to him. They remind each other when he's sleeping and they come running when he's crying to make sure he's ok and to make him smile until mommy can pick him up. They love being big sisters. And I am privaledged to be their mother. I can't believe how blessed I truely am.
