Happy 4 months Rowan!

My precious baby boy is 4 months old today. These past 4 months have just flown by. I'm so excited to spend the upcoming holidays with him. Even though he won't get it, it sure will be nice to have our little guy around.

4 Month stats:
Weight as of a week ago 14 lbs 8 oz 52%
Length 24 inches 37%
Head 65%
We switched doctors about a week ago and Rowan is doing TONS better with his reflux! He is now only taking prevacid daily and Gaviscon when he seems to be in pain. He is no longer so irritable since being taken off the Zantac.

*Rowan's favorite toy is his teething Giraffe named Sophie. It is basically an expensive dog toy for babies.
*He loves to jump up and down, I really think he'll love his jumparoo he's getting for Christmas!
*He loves to watch people eat. If he's sitting in my lap while I eat he will turn his head upside down just to watch the fork go in my mouth. I know this is a sign of readiness for solids, but he won't be starting them until 6 months.
*He loves to follow his daddy around the room with his eyes.
*He has turned into a HORRIBLE sleeper! I don't know what's going on, but lets hope it ends soon!
*He still sleeps swaddled, well until he breaks out of it, and sleeps the first few hours in his bassinet and the rest of the night in bed with me.
*He loves to have conversations with people, he will respond back when you talk to him.
*He can sit up for about 5 mins by himself. He can't do anything but look around while he's sitting but I'm sure he'll be playing with toys in no time!
*He loves to suck on his hands.
*He spent 3 days at my sisters house while I watched her kids while she was in Boston. Those kids LOVE Rowan so much! It is so sweet to see.
*He loves his playmat and always grabs onto his rattles and shakes them.
*He is such a smiley happy baby!
*When he gets really tired he becomes sort of delusional and will laugh at anything. Someone just standing up will have him doing his belly laugh!
*We're still enjoying breastfeeding and I'm hoping it will keep him healthy this winter!
*His hair has gotten SO long! When it's combed forward it reaches his eyes, we said we would cut it when it reached his eyes, but I don't know if I can bring myself to get it done!

Happy 4 months my baby boy!

Sitting

Lately Rowan has HATED being on his back and constantly wants me to sit him up. Well, today he showed me that all his practice has paid off and he can sit all by himself! He looks so dang cute sitting there all proud. Man, he's getting big way too fast!

Winter Wear and Other Things



His cute winter hat!

His first time seeing snow!


He's like the little boy from A Christmas Story and can't move in his snow suit.

"Brrr mom it was cold out there!"

Rowan loves getting his nightly massages. I'm hoping that doing them before bed will help him sleep better!
