Baby Bear is four months old already! He's actually almost five months old now but I never got a chance to post this so here goes.
Doctor's stats:
Weight 18lbs 7oz (95th %)
Height 25 3/8 inches (60th %)
The basics?
Diapers - Size 3
Clothing - 9 month, some 12
Food - formula
Sleeping - not enough!
Teeth - teething for weeks
Words - no words, just lots of coos and laughing
Favorite toy - puppy rattle, crinkle book
Well we all placed our bets on how big he was going to be at his 4 month appointment and I was almost exactly right. He's such a tank baby and I love it. I've had to get the clothing bins out multiple times because he's just growing so quickly. He's wearing all 9 month clothing and even some 12 month stuff.
His sleeping has been getting better. He suddenly started sleeping 4-5 hours but he only does it for 2 nights and then he has a bad night of being awake every 2 hours. I wish I could figure out why. We follow the same exact routine every night. He actually sleeps worse on bath nights! I'm hoping that once his teeth pop through, he'll start sleeping a little better.
He's 100% formula fed now. No, I'm not happy about it. Yes, I'm struggling with accepting it again. But he's fed and he's happy and that's all that matters right?
He smiles and laughs so much now. He has the best belly laugh and I can't get enough of it. His brother and sister are always trying to make him laugh. Really, just about anything makes him laugh. You can look at him a certain way and he'll laugh. He's the happiest baby ever.
While he still prefers mama to anyone else, he has been way better when he's with other people. He's been way happier when my mom or grandmother babysit and I'm happy about that.
He's starting to snuggle more. He loves to be held and will lay his head on my chest and snuggle a little bit now and then. He still doesn't like to fall asleep while being held.
His hair is wild and he has already gotten his first hair cut. I can't believe I had to trim his hair already.

He's such a happy little baby. He loves his brother so much. No one makes him laugh like his brother does. Ashlyn loves to help with him and loves to hold him. He's so fascinated by everything they do and I think he's going to do things a lot faster so he can keep up with them.

Oh my sweet little rainbow,
You are such a happy boy. You are ALWAYS laughing and smiling, even at strangers when they pass by. Your belly laugh is the best and you really love to be tickled.
You are so fascinated by your brother and sister and you're always watching them. You are also always watching the dogs. They seem to have more of an interest in you, too, more so than your siblings.
You still don't sleep the best but I think you are finally starting to get yourself into a routine. I hope that means that you'll sleep through the night soon. Your teeth are so close to popping through so I hope that helps you sleep as well.
You are such a joy, my little boy. I can't even imagine my life without you.
