Evan 4 Months Old

Is it possible that another month has already come and gone?!  Evan, I can’t believe how much you’ve grown this month!

Evan at 4 months…

• You weigh in at 13 lbs and 7 oz (20 percentile), measure 25.5 inches long (25 percentile), and have a head circumference of 40.2 cm (5 percentile…you have a little bity head just like your sister did!)
• You are wearing size 2 diapers and size 3-6 month clothing.  I’ve started packing up clothes that you’ve outgrown and it’s so hard to believe that you were that small just a few months ago! 
• You are feeding every 3 to 4 hours and taking 5 to 6 ounces at a time.  You’ve started spitting up some after you eat so we’re frequently changing your outfit and ours.
• You are now sleeping like a champ!  Most nights you’re asleep by 9pm and you will sleep until 8 or 9 the next morning.  Mommy is LOVING the extra sleep :)
• You are rolling from your stomach to your back and from your back to your stomach.  Once you started rolling you caught on quick and now you’re all over the place.  You love playing on your play mat but we have to stay close by because before we know it you’re off rolling around in the floor!
• Your obsession with your hands continues.  We have to keep a paci in your mouth to keep those hands out.  You will try your best to get your whole hand in your mouth which gags you and then you spit up everywhere.  It most not bother you too bad because as soon as we get you cleaned up you do it again. 
• You’ve discovered your feet and try so hard to get to them.  It won’t be long and you’ll be trying to chew on them too! 
• When you get sleepy you rub your eyes.  You try so hard to fight sleep just like your sister!  You both are worried you’re going to miss something if you go to sleep.
• You smile and laugh all the time (except when I try to take your picture just like your sister!)  You have the sweetest smile…melts my heart every time!
• You are trying your best to talk!  The other day I laid you on the bed and you talked to me for 30 straight minutes.  You try so hard to talk to Ella, too!
• You love taking a bath!  It must relax you because you poop almost every time!I’ve learned to never put you in the bath tub with me (I learned the hard way!) 
• You are still a cuddle bug!  I could just sit all day and cuddle with you…and you would let me! 
• You are such a sweet and HAPPY baby!  Everybody that keeps you says that you are the best baby and Mommy agrees.  You are very laid back and only get upset when you wake up extremely hungry. 
• You have the cutest little patch of hair right on the top of your head and that’s about it :)  It gives you that “little old man” look…haha!!
