4 Months

Uryah Bayles is 4 months old and look how excited he is about it!

He is still a super happy baby, as you can tell, and is still very laid back.  This weekend he has been the fussiest he has ever been but a lot of that has to do with his congestion.  Even when he is fussy, it lasts for 2 minutes and he's over it.

 He weighs 18 pounds 4.5 ounces is 26.25" long, wears size 3 diapers and is wearing anywhere from 6 month to 9 month clothes depending on the brand.

This month he learned to grab toys and hold them,

his laugh finally came out several weeks ago and it is our daily mission to get him to laugh at us.

He hates tummy time just like his sister.

After about 2 seconds he is done which you would think the kid would learn to roll over but nope, not interested in that either.  Again, JUST like his sister.

He also still hates cereal no matter how I fix it.  He screams and gags every time we try to feed him.  I'm giving up on it because it is not worth it.  He seems to be doing just fine on his 6 ounce bottles every 3 hours and I mean EVERY 3 hours.  If he is asleep during the day, his little eyes pop open 10 minutes before feeding time.  It is the funniest thing.  Occasionally he will stay asleep but not often. 

He sleeps pretty well at night.  His last feeding is usually between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm and he goes down right after that.  He will sleep until 6:00 am the next morning which sounds great except he is a restless sleeper and will kick his legs and jerk his arms around.  I have him in a sleep sack to try to contain him but he still manages kick and carry on.  I'm not sure what to do.  He also whimpers at times when his paci falls out.  90% of the time he doesn't sleep with it but I guess there are times when he wants it and whines and naturally it's about 1:00 am when he wants it.  Even with all that going on, I'm sleeping a decent amount and thankful I don't have to get up to feed him during the night.

He "talks" up a storm.  In the mornings while I'm getting ready, he will sit in his bouncy seat and jabber all morning.  His Sunday School teachers comment every week how much he talks to them.  Ha!   He has a lot to say.  He is also trying so hard to repeat what you're saying.  His little mouth will move, trying to imitate yours.

C still loves her some brother and he loves him some C.

Of course, he has no choice.  She still is all in his grill 24/7.  Thank goodness, he is a good natured baby or we could have problems.  :)

We have a doctor's appointment today and will learn what fun things we get to work on this next month.
