4 months old

Just a few days late, but WOW, my baby is 4 months old. Our precious Baby William is growing up so fast. Things to note about the last month:
- Stats:
24 1/2 inches (30th percentile)
13lbs 12ozs (30th percentile)
15 3/4 inches (25th percentile)
Although he looks big to me, I guess the numbers tell the truth!
- We switched from 5- 7oz bottles to 4- 8 oz bottles a day. Schedule is 7:30, 11:30, 3:30 then again at 7 or so. He's down between 8 and 8:30.
- Started to "talk" to us. When he's in a good mood he'll coo and mimic us if he's in a really good mood!
- Spit up has leveled off a little, but not much. We started 1/2 dose of Prevacid in a.m and 1/2 dose in p.m. about 3 weeks ago. It's helping, but there is room for improvement!
- Started taking a "lovey" when he was 3 1/2 months old. I noticed him grabbing for his burp cloth and decided it was time for a lovey when he was in bed. Now one lives at Pam's, one lives in the carrier and one lives in his crib. Our favorite is El...our cute blue elephant.
- He is into toys these days...something to hold onto. Our favorite is this Whoozit that I did not realize cost $16.99 until I checked my receipt later. We have gotten our money's worth, but as I drove down the highway back into town from Babies R Us, you better believe I was thinking of returning it. Glad I didn't- it's a good one!

- We have almost completely phased out this swing, but still catch a cat nap in it every so often:

- Loves to watch T.V. I have to admit that in the morning after his 7:30 bottle, we do put him in the bouncy seat on the coffee table and let him watch The Today Show. Probably not his show of choice, but it's our fave. He often looks from the T.V. to the mirror over our mantle to see the deer in the reflection or the fan. But like I said, LOVES the T.V.
- Goes to Pam's Monday thru Friday from roughly 9:30 to 4:30 (just until 2:00 on Friday's). She says he's a sweet boy, but as we know, spits up a lot. There is no rhyme or reason to a "good day" or a "bad day"- we just take each day and use as many bibs as we need to! I did a load a few weeks ago that was a Sunday and Monday worth of WAM clothes and there were 16 bibs in the load.
- Holds his head up ALMOST perfectly. There is still the occasional "flop" though :)
- He has started to look more like Walks the past month- still a good combo though. You be the judge, pictures of our angel below!!!

You are a sweet, precious boy and we can't wait for the next 4 months!!!
