4 Months

Levi had his 4 month check up today with Dr. Mojibi. He has grown into such a happy boy during these short 4 months. I have feelings of being so excited to see what he is going to next but at the same time wanting him to stay little and enjoying each day with him. It is such a privilege to be a mom!

Levi's 4 month stats:

Weight: 18 lbs. 10 oz. (95th percentile)

Height: 25.5 in. long (75th percentile)

He got 2 shots... lots of tears

- He has so much more control of his hands now. His hands are always in his mouth now as I am thinking that the teething process is starting.

- He gets really excited when Andrew get home from work which is really cute. His excitement comes out as a squeal and huge smile.

- His sleeping has regressed a bit to waking up now every 3-4 hours during the night

- When he smiles, his whole face lights up which is pretty much the cutest thing I have ever seen.

- When he wakes up in the morning or from a nap he is becoming quite the cuddle bug. As I hold him he just nestles into my chest and just stays there for awhile... So sweet

- Most days he wakes up between 7:30 and 8:00 and we have been putting him to bed around 6:30

-He is still taking previcid for his reflux. We tried a few weeks ago to wien him off. When we decreased it from a 1/2 pill twice a day to only one time a day we didn't see much of a difference which we were excited about but when we took him all the way off I started to notice that he would kick his legs and arch his back while he nursed. I had scary flashbacks to when he was super colicky and would do that every time nursed (also add coming off and screaming all throughout) so we immediately put him back on the 1/2 dose of previcid. We will give this some more time before we try it again.

- Can I just say that I love being a mom!!!
