Four Months Old

Yes, this is a bit late (as always!), but the photos and stats were on time!

Evan is growing and growing... here's a snapshot!

• Height: 26.25" (91st %ile)
• Weight: 17 lbs 10 ounces (88th %ile)
• Head: 43 cm (88th %ile)
• For those that are comparing here were Liam's stats:                                                                Weight: 17 lbs, 8 ounces Height: 26 3/4 inches Head circumference: 42 cm 
• Evan is so alert... he loves watching everything, being outside, looking at big brother, watching tv/ipad
• He is beginning to be interested in books... looking at the pictures
• He is constantly teething everything... hands are his favorite - his or yours.  He will attempt to shove anything into his mouth and gets very upset when it doesn't fit just right
• Loves kisses and snuggles... those get belly laughs
• Still loves songs and rhymes
• Sleep continues to be one of the biggest challenges for him.  He sleeps quite well at night, but naps are hard for him.  He doesn't want to fall asleep very easily (30+ minutes of screaming is the norm) and he doesn't stay asleep for long
• At night he usually only gets up once to feed and then goes right back down.  Daytime naps are still 4 a day that average about 30 - 60 minutes if put down or one long afternoon nap in mommy's arms
• He is still sleeping in his rock n play, although we do try out the crib just to see
• He is still showing allergies to dairy, although I can sneak the occasional hidden diary in without him showing too many symptoms.  I have put soy back into my diet now, although I still am trying to stay away from major soy protein offenders as that seems to upset him
• Just because one day I will forget... he poops every 4-6 days, unless I have eaten something that upsets him... then it is within a day
• Some of his favorite toys right now are his butterfly rings, wiry straw ball, little round teething animals, kitty tails/jungle tails books, snuggle puppy book (thanks grandma!), his spinning excersaucer toys, and his little soft elephant rattle (a liam present!)
• He loves to go and ga when he is having fun or excited.  
• Everyone thinks his chunky little thighs are adorable!
• Still on reflux meds... that seems to be under control at the moment... until the next growth spurt!
• Can roll over from and tummy to back and if everything is in just the right place, from back to tummy!  Lots of times he is still quite thrown off by this and cries!
• Loves his bath!
