Aaron - 4 Months

Age:
Four months old!

Stats:
16 lbs 9 oz (73rd percentile) and 26.5 inches long (95th percentile). Aaron's a big boy. And apparently a tall one! EJ was about this size when he turned one.

Wears:
6 month and 9 month clothes, size 2 diapers. He's definitely ready for size 3! We're just trying to use up the last of the 2s. Then he and EJ will be in consecutive sizes of diapers.

Says:
Aaron is a chatty guy! He makes lots of super cute baby sounds and laughs now.

Sleeps:
Aaron had been waking once a night at 4am to eat pretty consistently, but over the past couple weeks he's been reverting to waking twice, at 2am and 5am. I do not approve! He made up for it last night- he slept through the night for the first time! I fed him at 9:30 and he didn't wake up to eat until after 6am. It was amazing. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come.
Aaron is awake a lot during the day now. He takes one long nap in the afternoon, and a few cat naps here and there.

Eats:
Formula and breastmilk. He has six, four ounces bottles per day and breastfeeds 3-4 times.

Loves:
Smiling! Aaron is just the happiest little guy.
He loves his playmat, chewing on toys, and grabbing his toes.
His bouncy chair. If we bounce it with our feet, he'll sit in there for days.
Being tickled!
Rolling over! Aaron has been rolling back to tummy for almost a month. EJ's first roll was documented like this. Aaron rolled at least four times without me even seeing it! I'd lay him down on his back, go help EJ with something, and all of a sudden he'd be on his tummy. Sorry, second child. I saw him do it eventually! And now he does it all the time.
Laughing! Aaron first laughed at seven weeks, but then we didn't hear it again for a while. Then we started hearing it more, and for the past couple weeks he's been laughing a lot. It's so much fun!
Drooling. He is so, so drooly.

Dislikes:
Being put down. Aaron still prefers being held or played with. He'll play by himself for a little while, but he likes being with Mommy or Daddy.
Cold bottles!
Not being able to roll off his tummy.

Plays:
On his playmat
With any baby toys he can grab
In the Exersaucer

Aaron & EJ
Aaron adores EJ. Whenever EJ plays with him, Aaron gets so happy! It's the cutest thing ever.

He still has those big blue eyes!
