Four Months

On November 27'th my little man turned four months old. It is amazing to me how much a baby can learn and grow in just four months. Here is a little update on what Leland has been up to lately:

• He now grabs his toes while lying on his back. 
• He usually sleeps 9+ hours every night, but of course there is a random rough night where he wants nothing to do with sleep.
• Leland loves blowing spit bubbles. 
• His favorite toy is a monkey we call Mr. Crinckles
• This month he has been on three planes, been to Disney World, and seen the Atlantic Ocean
• He laughs hardest when you play peek a boo with him
• Leland loves kisses on his very kissable cheeks
• He has the most to say in the mornings when he wakes up
• He still loves his swing but we no longer need it to get him to sleep- he is now a full time crib baby
• When he is over tired he throws a temper tantrum. He screams so hard his face turns red. The only way to settle him down is to rock him and hold him tight. Eventually he will do 'squishy face' which is when he burrows his face into your chest. At that time you can get the binky in and he'll eventually fall asleep.
• Leland's walker is shaped like a car. He can only push himself backwards so far but has recently learned to push the buttons. His dad was so proud. 
• At his four month check up Leland weighed 16.10 pounds and was 25 inches long. He is in the 87 and 88 percentile for weight and height.
