Four Months Old

Weight: 18 lb 6 oz (97th percentile)

Length:  25.75 inches (78th percentile)

Head Circumference:  18.75 inches (>99th percentile)

Eating: 6-7 oz every 3 hours; We'll still using the Walmart brand sensitive formula with rice cereal.  He still spits up quite a bit, but it seems to be getting a little better.  We started giving him gripe water before every bottle because he seemed to be very uncomfortable and would start to squirm when we laid him down after a bottle.  Some of it looks like discomfort, but sometimes he just gets mad that he can't fully roll over from his back just yet.

Sleeping:  We were on a pretty good schedule where he would fall asleep while eating his bedtime bottle and then sleep through the night (8:00/8:30 to 6:30/7:00) this month.  He then started waking up at 3:00AM for a few nights this week, but started sleeping through the night again.  I guess that was the 4 month sleep regression I kept reading about.  He had been sleeping in the rock-n-play since he was still congested, but we moved him back to the pack-n-play because he started turning over and wiggling a lot.  He doesn't really like the swaddle anymore, but keeps waking himself up if he doesn't have it on.  He usually takes a 30 minute nap on the way to the babysitter's house, 2-2.5 hour nap during the day and another 1 hr nap around 3:00 or 4:00.
