*Week 17 - 4 Months* *August 11 - August 17* My little man is hitting so many milestones . . . too fast! At times its incredibly hard to watch. Speaking of milestones . . . This was Mason's first week of Kindergarten. development: August 11 - Welp, it has happened. He has officially turned into a little weeble wobble. You lay him on his back and rolls to both sides, not completely over to his stomach yet, but close. For some reason he would rather roll to his right side. It's just so funny to watch. Last night he actually rolled over to his side in his crib and kicked his mobile on. Quite Clever!! Also he has learned how to make smacking noises with his lips. (he sucks in his top lip) Its too funny! August 13 - Its about time, but tonight he found his feet! All he does now is play with them. He can't pull them up to his mouth yet, but he gets them further than I could. :) Than tonight he slept from 9:00 pm to 4:30 am. That put him 9 hours between bottles. WOW!! I didn't think my chunky munky could go that long between feedings. August 16-17 - So this weekend I was a little bored and I decided to try him with some rice cereal. He didn't like it, but he didn't hate it. So I went on to bananas and he still wasn't too impressed. I guess I'm just gonna wait until his check up.
*Week 18* *August 18 - August 24* (Dr visit August 22 at 3:00 - 4 month check up) weighed: 19 pounds 15 ounces (98th percentile) length: 26.50 inches (87th percentile) head circ: 44 centimeters (84th percentile) The doctor said that Sean is doing great! He has met all his milestones for his age (minus one). He is NOT rolling over all the way yet. (back to stomach) But the doctor did say that was typical for chunkier babies :) He told me not to start cereal or solids with Sean until he is eating more in his bottles. He received 3 shots today and a prescription for an antibacterial cream, because he keeps drooling under his chin. This week was pretty uneventful. After Sean got his shots on Friday he was super cranky and sick all weekend. He had his first low grade fever (100.4) Poor baby!! I wish I could just take his pain away.
*Week 19* *August 25 - August 31* So after a week of trying to get Sean to take the 6oz at one time like the doctor wanted me too . . . I SO gave up. He does not want to take 6oz, so why should I make him? He is perfectly happy with his 4oz bottles and the occasional 5oz. He is taking anywhere from 28-32oz in 24 hours. I am not forcing him to take more formula than he wants. All that's gonna do is cause him to throw up. So forget it. So this week we started Bananas and Cereal in the evenings. He loves every second of it! Also this week we have noticed a big change in his hair. It is really starting to grow in fast. Its getting thick, just like his daddy's. Its coming in the strawberry blonde color. Now I'm wondering if he will have the freckles as well. Oh yea and one more thing, the screaming has started. I guess he has finally realized that he can make that noise and now he does it all the time. He screams but has such a serious look on his face like he is really telling you a big story. Ha ha! development: August 26 - So this evening Sean started doing his own tricks! Daddy thought he was sleeping and placed him in his bouncy seat (not buckling him in) and he did the superman out of it onto the floor. We both took off running to find that he managed to land on his belly and got his first "boo boo" on his noggin. :( Poor baby! I held a cold rag on his head, but you couldn't even tell the next day. All in all, daddy felt worse about it than Sean did. August 30 - Labor day weekend and to celebrate we decided to go out on the Ohio River to do some boating and riding the jet ski. This was Seans first all day boating experience. He loved it! We didn't let him in the water but I brought a little inflatable pool that he cooled off in. The worse part of it all was that it was a little humid so we had to strip him down while he was sleeping. August 31 - Today was Seans first experience with the annual rivalry Kentucky verses Louisville (football game that is). Me and Brandon are very big Kentucky fans, while other parts of the family are Louisville fans. So the games are always fun! But Kentucky WON score was 27-2.

pinkb00h - Friday, 20 June Alyvia weighed 9lbs 14oz when she was at the dr wed. morning. My milk must be VERY high in fat!
pregos - Friday, 20 June You are so right about the formula thing... it stinks , its unhealthy ( corn syrup or starch or sumthin is in there ) and it can cause all kinds of side effects. Ahniya barley spits up and she is getting everything she needs... LOL she eats every 2-3 hours and eats for about 10 mins... LOL its the best tho when they drink way too fast and back off the nipple and milk is just running all over their face... My mid-wife kinda pissed me off saying most young girls dnt breastfeed and she is surprised I made it this far! I looked at her like BITCH I went threw a damn c-section w/o a spinal I can make it threw breastfeeding... We are strong mommies huh? Sean is so cute man! So r you eve gunna try for a girl? lmao
