4 Month Birthday!

Happy 4 month birthday sweet sweet boy!
  • 97th percentile for height and weight
  • 17lbs and 13 oz
  • 27 inches long
  • Usually sleeps for a 5-6 hour stretch per nigh. Although starting last week we hit another growth spurt so we are eating every 2.5-3 hours.
  • He loves his jump-jump, prefers his left leg!
  • Everything goes in the mouth
  • He is drooling more and more (Daddy says baby drool is like Phoenix tears, it cures everything), but no teeth. For this mommy is very thankful!
  • He is thinking really hard about rolling over. He gets up onto his side, then rolls back onto his back.
  • He likes to sit up, with assistance
  • He needs to know what is happening around him!
How did we celebrate?!
Well for starters we found a pediatrician that we love!!! Or at least mommy and Declan do, Daddy didn't get to meet him because he was at camp. Let me tell you that finding the right pediatrician is a really stressful experience, so I am thankful that the hunt is over! Yay!
After Declan's 4 month visit we got in the car for another trip up to Camp Enchantment! Jonathan had been up there since Friday night. Declan and I had been up on and off throughout the week. We got up there in time for afternoon swimming and Declan got in the swimming pool for the first time and he also got to go under the water! He did awesome! He had a great time in the pool and he loved camp. Of course, he loved camp. He has two amazing camp counselors for parents!
Also Declan got to meet the campers! They absolutley adored him and he loved all of the attention. He also got to spend some quality time with our friend Arielle! He LOVED her! Arielle got to snuggle and make him giggle, she also got to wear him in the carrier.

Declan also attended his very first camp dance. He slept through the first parts of it, but when he woke up he really enjoyed the music and the dancing. He had so much fun that by the time he got in the car seat for the drive home, he was out in about thirty seconds, no protesting the car seat this time!
