Eli :: 4 months

I tell you what, this last month has flown by at lightning speed. Ever since Marcus went back to work things have not slowed down one bit. I am trying to get into a groove, but my little muncher is making it very difficult. Unlike Garrett, Eli hasn't really fallen into a schedule. I think part of that is being a second kid and another part of it is how unsettled life has been for this kid since he was born. He is a joy and a blessing, but sometimes I feel like I have no idea what I am doing as a mother. I will say, we will muttel through somehow and things will work out. I will say this boy is not lacking in the love department. He gets plenty of kisses and lots of snuggles.

  • Eli's 4 month stats are: Height ~ 25" (33%), Weight ~ 12lbs 12.8oz (4%)
  • He is still not sleeping through the night. Usually wakes about 2:30 for a snack and then luckily right back to bed or he just falls asleep with me until I wake up a put him back in bed. 
  • His nap schedule is lacking to say the least, he naps every day, but never at the same time and never for a set amount of time. Everyday is different and depends on what time he wakes up in the morning.
  • He is finally sleeping in a crib in his own room, He does have to sleep a little bit elevated in his crib. He still needs to be swaddled, which is fine by me.
  • He is still nursing great. I am very grateful for this.
  • He is not rolling over yet, I am not too concerned. Garrett took forever to roll over as well and when he finally did it, it was only enough times to show me that he could do it.
  • He still doesn't like tummy time, it still almost always end in a pile of puke with a screaming baby.
  • He is really starting to interact with us. He has started giggling and always has big grins for us.
  • He loves to snuggle with me in the mornings and I love it right back. 
We are looking forward to spending more time as a family and I love this kid to pieces. More to come next month.    
My sweet boy, I love these quiet moments. #lovemylittlemuncher #wholovesawhiteonesie Finally a smile for the camera. I know I'm biased but this is a cute kid. #lovemylittlemuncher My baby officially has his first cold. It makes me sad when my kiddos are sick. #lovemylittlemuncher
