4 Months Old

On Tuesday, Owen turned 4 months old. Time is flying by. I feel extremely grateful to have made it to this day. Unfortunately, Gavin spent his 4 month birthday in the hospital - I don't even have a 4 month old picture of him :( - so we feel blessed to have gotten to this point healthy. Hopefully this will continue for both our boys.

Here are some things that Owen is up to:

  • Stats: Height: 27 inches (96 percentile) & 14 lbs. 14 oz. (61 percentile)

  • He has been eating his rice cereal twice a day. This is going pretty well and we will be tackling peas for the next couple of days. I have ventured into making my own baby food. We'll see how it goes.

  • He takes his amoxicillin like a champ (I think this may be the best part of his day).

  • Owen loves to roll around and when he is on his belly, he loves to scoot backwards. I can't believe that he is so mobile already.

  • He sleeps on his belly. Despite all my attempts to keep him on his back, he always rolls over and sticks his butt in the air.

  • He has started teething. He drools all over the place and sticks his entire fist in his mouth. Teethers do help but most of the time, he prefers his hands (especially his left. Could we have a lefty?) This is new for me

  • He loves when Gavin plays with him, but he is content to watch Gavin play from his exersaucer. That thing is a life-saver. Luckily, for right now, Gavin also loves to play with Owen though I am sure that in the future this will change. I will enjoy it for now!!
