4 Months!


Gus is four months already and like all moms say, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! I love this stage he is in now. He's so much more fun and can easily entertain himself (making life so much easier for momma) Thanks dude!

 I've been using that whale up there ^ for his monthly pics because that was Rusty's favorite toy and I love sentimental crap like that ;) Oh and ignore the pattern clash!

Size: Oh my heavens! Listen, I know my son was large and I'm sure you're sick of hearing it by now, but Gus has gotten HUGE! This past month he has grown so so so much! A week ago he had his 4 month checkup and he weighed 17 pounds and 12 ounces -- putting him in the 96th percentile. I don't know what I'm doing! I'm not trying to stuff the kid with food, he just wants his belly full all the time! The doctor said we can start solids, but I don't think I'm ready to start him on fruits and veggies. I have been giving him rice cereal (from a bottle because he hates the spoon -- someone help!) and he seems to be satisfied with that. I still supplement with formula and I've just come to terms with it. Sometimes I feel like I'm being judged for that, but the truth is, I'm trying my best. I mean, the stuff isn't poison ;)

Gus wears half 3-6 month and half 6-9 month clothes. He is in size 3 diapers. 

Sleeping: He sleeps pretty well. About 10 hours and up twice to eat. Naps are all over the place! He usually takes two naps and the time varies everyday.

Eating: *See Size*

Milestones: He has started to babble and it is so cute! He can also roll over from his back to his tummy and basically has full head control.
