Owen: 4 months

Wow, what a fun month we have had!  Lots of laughter, smiles and SLEEP!  I will probably say this each month, but this just gets more fun!  I love being a mom. I always knew I would.  Several friends have commented on how calm I am as a mom.  I think that I have just thought about this for so long I want to be the best mom I can be (i know very corney).

Owen has rolled over front to back and back to front this month (BTW this is BEFORE he was 4 months old...yes I am a proud mama!)  He is such a good baby his evening fussy time went away when I fixed his naps.  He wasn't getting enough sleep during the day.

Our schedule now is:
8am-Eat, play time (this is a special time of day, he is so sweet!!) then a 1 1/2 hour nap
11am-Eat, play time (usually some tummy time or in his swing) then a 1 hour nap
2pm-Eat, play time (run errands) then a 1 hour nap
5-6pm Eat, play a little then a 1 1/2 nap
8-9pm Eat, play about 30 minutes and ready for bed!
10:30 dream feed and back to bed

Though the times change because I am bad at getting him up at the same time each day.  I like to sleep in if I can and occasionally he will sleep to 10ish and it is WONDERFUL!!  I know babywise says to get them up at the same time each day, but we all do it a little different!

I just know teeth are coming!  His hands are in his mouth ALL the time, the drool has taken over every thing gets wet now days and Owen isn't just into chewing on his hands anything will do!  I do find his left hand tends to be the hand of choice these days.

And because I can never get enough of looking at his face enjoy my camera indulgence!

  2. Me, me!! Those cheeks are sooo kissable! We did babywise, too, and I think it helped so much. He sleeps through the night now--every night--since about 4-6 months. You will be so glad you did it. He's so handsome, Jeanna :-)

  3. Just please watch his weight and growth! You are only nursing him 5 times a day at 4 months old. The American Academy of Pediatrics (which cautions people about Babywise Schedules) still recommends that babies under 6 months, but over 2 months, need to nurse 6-8 times in a 24 hour period. Also, by cutting back feedings, you will start to reduce your supply.

  4. I can't believe it's been 4 months already. Where is the time going? Owen is so precious and I'm so glad you're getting to enjoy these moments with him.
