Jameson @ 4 Months

 

Jameson had his 4 month Dr. Appt. on Friday.  He is doing great, we need to work with him on the ground more so he starts to roll around.  Things we never thought of because with Layla being so big and clumsy we don't put Jameson on the ground to play.  He is almost old enough to try rice cereal but we will wait closer to 5 months and around 6 months he can start eating veggies. 

 

So here are the details of our Little Scooby Do:

 

He seems huge to us considering Cash was always in the 5th percentile.  Jameson being 14 lbs 1 oz and in the 20th. percentile for weight and 25 in and the 41st. for height he seems like a beast to us.  He loves breast milk and will simply refuse to eat formula and scream until he gets it, we are working on that one.  We have to trick him twice daily to take his baby Zantac by adding yummy juice in it.  His acid reflux is still a huge issue and he still has days where he spits up constantly.  However, we seem to have gotten the pain from it under control.  He is much happier and screams less.

He wakes up around 5:00am, like clock work.  It's not my ideal time to be up that early but it's so hard to be annoyed when he coos at you and smiles.  He usually falls asleep on the ride over to Nana's around 8:00 am and goes down for a real nap at 10:00 am.  Depending on the noise level or what is going on he will sleep anywhere from 5 Min's. to 2 hours.  He goes down for another nap around 2:00 pm.  Nighttime we have our ritual, bath, snuggle and nurse till he's asleep.  Let me be clear that if he's not nursing to go to sleep with his blanket he will be screaming.  He WANTS to be asleep by 7:30 pm and will let you know it is time.  He still wakes up a FEW times at night.  I have spoken to his Dr. about this and because his acid reflux, he wont drink as much milk to sustain sleep for longer periods of time.  I am hoping rice cereal in his bottle before bed will help out.

 

Jameson enjoys "talking", smiling and "cooing."  He has discovered his hands and can now hold various items.  He tries to suck him thumb or two fingers.  He doesn't really have a preference just so long as there is some sort of extremity in his mouth.  He is trying to put his own pacifier in his mouth, but usually he gets his ear.  It's a constant battle because he hasn't mastered his fingers/thumb and we want him to have a pacifier and he tries to have both at the same time. 

 

Jameson hates tummy time, he will scream if he is put on his stomach.  We have to work on this because even though he knows how to roll over, he chooses not to and just cries.  He loves to be held, and that is the understatement of the year.  Jameson is happiest in someones arms.  He is starting to tolerate playing in his play seat surrounded by toys, but that seems to only last 10 Min's. MAX. 

 

 

His Stats.  Not sure why it says 2 Mo.

Happy 4 months Jameson
