Felix turned 4 months old on July 18th.
- He finally slept through the night for the first time on July 20th! He woke up at 5:45am. I can't remember exactly what time he went to sleep though! It must have been around 7:30/8:00pm. Life is crazy. :) Since then we have had 3 nights of sleeping through which is perfect timing because I was going to start sleep training him (not feeding him in the night with the possibility of letting him cry if needed).
- He rolled over for the first time on July 12th. He went from tummy to back immediately after I laid him down. At first I thought it was just a fluke but then I put him back on his tummy and he did it again. He also did the same thing for my dad a few times this past weekend. So, I'm going to call it official. Still not much progress on rolling from back to tummy.
- He starting to scoot on his back a little bit. I'll lay him down with his head in a certain part of his blanket and come back to his head still being where I left him but his feet are the other direction completely.
- He is talking a lot more. He still uses his favorite word "ah-goo" all of the time but has introduced many more sounds that go along with that. We are looking forward to the words "mama and dada" but haven't heard them quite yet!
- He seriously loves any attention anyone will give him! My mom said - well, he's the third child - he's happy with what he gets! I think she's right. His face lights up with a big smile if anyone talks to him. He'll also let anyone hold him happily (as long as he's not hungry or tired).
- His eye color keeps changing. I still don't think it's the final color that he'll have for the rest of his life but it certainly appears to be more brown than anything else. It's pretty much hazel I'd say for now.
- Today is Mom's last day of maternity leave. Felix will be going to daycare full time next week. He loves it there and does well, but I'll certainly miss my extra time with him!
- He's wearing 9 month clothing and size 3 diapers.
- He's started to eat cereal in the evening. He typically takes a couple spoons full. He sucks on the spoon hoping it's a nipple of any sort and then when he realizes he isn't after a few bites he gets mad until Mommy picks him up. I think he is eating some of it though!
- He goes about 3 hours in between feedings now. He can go up to four hours at times depending on his nap schedule and what we're doing.
- His hair is still curly! I'm obsessed with the cuteness of it.
- We found a birthmark under Felix's full head of hair. The doctor said it is a "stork bite" and will go away with time.
- At his 4 month doctor visit he weighed in at 17lbs 10oz. (88%). He is 26.3 inches long (90%). His head is 44.5cm (>99%). The doctor said he looked nice and healthy. He certainly is. So grateful for this little (big) guy!
