C-Man is 4 Months!

How in the world did this happen, my baby boy is four months old!?!?!? Okay so he was four months old last week but we had his check up on Monday so I thought I would wait until after that to do his update. This little boy at four months old is such a joy, he is my little cuddle bug unlike his brother who wanted nothing to do with being held or rocked or snuggled.

Coleman is very predictable, which is a good thing for mommy, and thrives on his schedule, if I am more then 5 minutes late when I put him down for a nap or when it is time to eat he starts squawking and fussing at me. Once he gets what he wants though he quiets down and is back to being happy and very chill. He sure does love his sleep too, all I have to do is lay him down wrapped in his swaddle and he is out for the count, he takes 2 good naps a day that last 2 hours each and two other cat naps in between them and then heads to bed about 7:30 and doesn't wake up until 6:30 or 6:45. I have been blessed with children who sleep and I attribute this to using the baby wise method, some may disagree but it has worked for me so I am a fan.

At his appointment yesterday he got a clean bill of health, however he is still a little bit, which is just like his big brother. He is meeting all his milestones on time and is right where a four month old should be in terms of head holding, rolling, smiling, tracking and so forth. Dr. Joe wasn't to concerned with his slow weight gain because for one all his test came back fine and he has seen this first hand with Charlie and we all know that he is a perfectly healthy almost three year old. We discussed introduction of solids and we decided that he will start rice cereal at five months and fruits and veggies will be introduced at six months. We felt that we didn't need to rush and because he is so small it is better to hold off for just a little while longer. Below you can see his stats, he is rocking the 5th and 10th percent for height and weight but his head is in the 50th percent so he has a pretty big noggin compared to the rest of him! No matter how big or small he is we love him so much and we are so blessed to have two happy and healthy boys!
