The 4 month doctor appointment is this Friday so I'm estimating...
Cannon: About 13 1/2 pounds. He's sleeping anywhere from 5-7 hour stretches at night. He's goofy and silly already. He loves sticking his tongue out and talking very loud. He is so fun to hang out with and is a pretty independent baby so far. I'm afraid he may have a mild case of reflux cause he isn't eating as well as he has and tends to fuss during feeds. He eats anywhere from 24-28 ounces a day.
Cooper: About 10 1/2 pounds. He's sleeping anywhere from 4-6 hour stretches at night. He's becoming a happier baby now that we've switched formulas and his poo issues are almost gone. Him and Mark like to growl back and forth at each other. He is definitely my cuddle bug and loves sleeping on anyone's chest and hates sleeping alone. He is eating anywhere from 18-24 ounces a day.
The boys have somewhat noticed each other. Where they may not know what's going on, they know something else is there. They will stare at each other and check each other out, it's pretty fun to watch. Makes me think of all the things they will plot against mom and dad in the future. They have also just recently decided that naps are overrated and they'd rather stay up and be cranky. They used to fall asleep on their own and now I am needed to rock, bounce or do SOMETHING to get them to fall asleep and then heaven forbid I try to set them down cause they'll be up as soon as I do. I'm being told this is their 4 month wakeful period where they begin to be more aware of their surroundings. Makes sense but it still sucks, BAD.
I just recently went back to work part time so we hired a nanny. She's very sweet and so far she's doing well. Cooper had an ear infection her first day with them so you can imagine what kind of day she had. So for her not to go running for the hills was nice cause believe me, it's hard work. So here I go again, into another adjustment period. I was just getting used to staying home and it was time for me to go back. Of course I know my role will always be mom, now it's like, where and what's my routine? Where did it go?
I've been struggling with all the baby care and all the crying and the unpredictable things babies bring to the world so I've reached out to family and they've responded perfectly. I don't know where I'd be without them. Life is definitely a little rough at times with two babies but at of the end, I wouldn't change a thing. I love my life. I love my family...
kisses for your face...
happy boy
Here's to 4 more months! May they be filled with sleepful nights and happy smiley babies...
