Calvin is 4 months!


Calvin is...
  • So brave. He only squealed once after his shots, made a grimace, took a few deep breaths and then was fine!
  • Enjoying tummy time a little more
  • Starting to make more high-pitched noises and squeals... which results in Dad calling him baby girl. 
  • Getting a lot more accurate with grabbing and picking things up (which means I have to be more careful about things around him.)
  • Always kicking his feet, flapping his arms like wings, or wiggling around
  • Sleeping from about 7/7:30pm to 7am with no middle of the night feeding!!! (Can I get a hallelujah?!?!?!)
  • Successfully sleeping in his nursery and crib for naps AND nights! (still not super consistent but a huge improvement from needing the swing or our bed.)
  • Along with the above, he is also putting himself to sleep! (I read so many books about it. I had been rocking, bouncing, swaying, etc. to get him to sleep so I was super skeptical. But now I'm a believer!)
  • Sitting for short periods on his own... PR is 23 seconds!
  • Noticing the baby video monitor and staring into it
  • Sucking his thumb again! (Still takes the pacifier, but often spits it out and sucks his thumb instead.)
  • Hanging out with Mom 24/7 because Dad is gone from 6am - 11pm prepping for football season
  • Weight: 15 pounds, 10.5 ounces
  • Height: 26 inches 
  • Head Size: 16.25 inches
Dislikes:
  • Changes in his schedule
  • When mom tries to squeeze in too many errands in a row
  • Being bored
  • When Mom has Mastitis. (Makes the milk taste funny... and believe me, I dislike this too!)
Likes:
  • Puppies (or at least when you say the word Puppy.)
  • New Rainforest Jumperoo Toy
  • Watching new people
  • Webbed toys (rattle ball, football & car) 
  • Grabbing his feet
  • Lights
  • The word, "Oops!"
  • Peek-a-boo
  • Holding the side of his carseat with his left hand
