graham: 4 months

I cringe thinking my little newborn isn't so newish anymore...

Graham is growing and changing like a weed these days.  The good news though is that he is still so calm.  I sometimes just don't get it. Where did this kid come from?!

We had his 4 month check up last week.  Everything is looking great with him.

Weight: 15 lbs 11 oz. (65%)
Length: 26" (above 75%)
Head Circ: 44 cm (88%)

Things I don't want to forget and know I will:

He watches and watches and WATCHES his big brother.  Graham really wants to be where Luke is.  We've been bathing them together (mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to do two separate bath times) and it is so fun to see the two of them love it.  Luke says "oh hi Graham, let's wash your hair." I also love that Luke will come up to Graham and say "Oh hi baby (in a baby voice), hi baby, hi baby." Graham loves it.

He's a pretty good sleeper.  He goes down in between 8 and 9 and will sleep until 5ish.  Nurses and sleeps until 8.  It works great for our schedule.  That's about the only schedule we have him on.  Poor kid.  I just can't do a sleep schedule for him with Luke's schedule.  So far, it works and we are all happy.

No teeth yet...

I haven't started any solids.  I'm going to hold off until after the holidays.  He seems satisfied with just milk right now, and I'm totally grateful for that.  I'm already dreading (must mean I have more than one kid) the thought of taking the time to feed Graham solids too.

He has chunky chunky thighs and a nice cottage cheese bum.  I love it.

Graham's smile is ridiculous.  It doesn't matter what my day has brought, when this kid smiles my heart melts.  His happiness is contagious.

He's fitting into 6 month jammies already.  So far I've maybe bought a total of 3 new outfits for him.  Other than that, he's sporting Luke's clothes.

I think we have another blankie and binky boy.  Although, he hasn't latched on to one specific blanket yet, he just needs a one.

We are noticing he's growing out of his swaddler wrap we put him in at night.  Yes, we have a "special" swaddling device and WE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT.

Four to nine months has to be one of my favorite phases.
