Kyle is 4 Months!

Kyle is 4 Months Old

Lily wanted to help with the photo shoot.  This is my new favorite picture!  He's really starting to notice Lily now.  I love how sweet they are together.

So happy to be with big sister.  Look at that laugh!

 

-At the 4 month check Kyle was 26" long and 16 lbs.  Those were the same measurements as last month, so one of the months must be incorrect.  I know his growth is slowing down, but last month he could still wear 6 month clothes and now he's only in 9 months.  Either he's growing or I'm shrinking his clothes in the wash! :)

- He's in size 3 diapers now.  Eats every 2-3 hours during the day.  The feedings are not at consistent intervals (before he was every 2 hours on the nose).  Sometimes it drives me crazy, but other times it's nice that he's flexible if we are out shopping or taking Lily to/from school. 

- On an average night, his last feeding is at 6pm, he wakes to eat at 3 am, and then is up at 6 am to start his day.  I love the 9 hour stretch, it's just a bummer that I can't get to bed until 9 or 10.  But I won't complain about 6 hours in a row of sleep for me.  Much better than it was!

- He is showing more and more personality every day.  Smiling, laughing, cooing, and drooling.  Lots of drool!  He goes through about 5 bibs a day!  (Lily never did that.  Must be a boy thing.)

- He caught his first cold last week. :(  I guess that happens when Sister starts going to school.  She was sick Monday - Tuesday, then she got better and he was sick Wednesday - Thursday.  Luckily is was a tiny bug (stuffy nose and sore throat) and Mommy never caught it.  But Daddy got it over the weekend.

Kyle's milestones for this past month:
- Went to 2 family Birthday parties (but no cake or ice cream at either...sorry buddy)
- Met his only cousin for the first time
- 1st time at church.  Perfectly quiet the whole time and loved looking at all the people.
- Took his 2nd trip to Indiana
- Went to his 1st wedding.  (It was Lily's first wedding too.)  The kids came to the ceremony with us because Grandma was working.  They were total angels and didn't make a peep.  Then Grandma took over babysitting so we could attend the reception.
- Went to the Feast of the Hunters' Moon (it's a Lafayette thing).  Great for people watching
