Lucas: Four Months Old

Lucas is growing and changing so much.  His weight is 15 lbs 15 oz. and his height is  24 1/2  inches That is a 1 lb 11 oz gain and you grew1 1/2 inches.  In just one month!

Things that happened in your fourth month:
  • grabbing toys and holding on to them at the start of month and 
  • by end of the month grabbing toys, clothes, necklaces and putting them in his mouth
  • first belly laugh with mommy nuzzling her chin in his chest/neck
  • slept 7 hours straight (once!)
  • blowing bubbles with mouth
  • rolled to his side wearing a sleepsack
  • both hands in mouth all the time!
  • Smiles and eyes widen when mom says "I'm gonna get you" (in silly voice)
  • Grabs moms arms when changes him and thinks it is funny
  • no more oh, ah, hi sounds now long stings of sounds with mouth open (no babbles yet)
  • will talk to anyone who talks to him. loves to have long conversations with lots of expression
  • loves being outside watching the trees, sky and most of all his brother and sister playing
  • goes to bed all month between 8:00-9:00pm and generally sleeps for 4-5 hrs.  After this long stretch, he is up every hour or two and then gets up for good between 6:00-7:00am.
  • Mom has started bringing Lucas into bed at the 4-5am wake up call.
