4 months plus!


So here we are, Arlo is now 4 months old. At his doctor appointment he weighed 17 lbs 11 ounces (90%), was 27 inches tall (97%), and his head was 17 inches around (75%). That is right my chunky little man has now doubled his birth weight, all on breast milk! I am telling you, that is the good stuff. He is wearing size three diapers (I had to exchange 2 boxes of Costco diapers and get bigger ones) and is now wearing size 6-9 months clothes and even they can be tight depending on the brand. But he has actually been in them since Oregon which was about August 2nd.

As for how and what he is doing, I am proud to say that my baby is the greatest! He is the best little conversationist in the world! He absolutely loves to talk and be talked too. He will goo and gaa and squeal and fuss in all the right places. He will also giggle at other things besides the dog (even though Bronco is still his favorite!) He loves playing with his feet, he will stick anything and everything that he can get his hands on in his mouth. And yesterday we noticed his two front, bottom teeth pushing through. Our little man does not stop changing even for a day!

Now that he is four months we are going to start supplementing with formula as well as solids. I am so excited, my mom got me the baby beaba for my birthday so we can do the all natural thing and make all of his baby food. I also went on craig's list and bought my little guy a piano exersaucer! He loves this thing, he loves standing on his own and playing with the toys or watching Bronco. He can literally stay in that thing for about 30+ minutes and be as happy as a clam!

As for our other child (Bronco) he is more and more jealous everyday... and I feel bad because we usually take him to the park everyday, but right now in the heat it is way too hot, even in the morning when I wake up it is already in the 90's, and I usually am in bed my 9:30. Because Arlo still 90% of the time still wakes up once a night. So, as for Bronco I feel bad but as soon as it gets cooler I can not wait to take walk to the park with Bronco and Arlo, we will have a great time!
