Austin = 4mo!
So first things first. Time is flying, we are already in December and my little guy turned 4 months old on the 21st of November! The day of his 4mo Birthday we also left to head up to Boone for our annual trip for our Christmas Tree, yes the same trip we took last year when Kyle proposed!! It is crazy to think it has been an entire year, but time flies when you are having fun right? :).
So we left on Wednesday and got up to Boone around 10pm (after stopping for dinner). As usual Austin did great with the ride up there and slept the entire way, only waking up to eat when we stopped. Once we got there, we got settled, I put him to bed and passed out myself, in my clothes at that. I was just so immensely tired after a long day at work then a 3.5hr drive.
Here is a picture from our 4mo old shoot!
We had his 4mo pediatrician visit the following week on the 25th which included 3 more vaccines, 2 injections and 1 oral. He did great, although he had no desire to lay down on the table and was not happy until I could pick him up. Luckily he only cried for about 10 seconds before he was good and ready to go! His stats were as follows....
Weight: 14lbs 3oz
Height: 24 1/4 inches
Both of those were the same as his 2mo appointment in that he is still in the 25th percentile but his head went from the 25th percentile up to the 40th percentile so my little guy has a big ole noggin. Just means his brain is extra big and full of knowledge :) Besides that it was a simple appointment. We were given the green light to start Solid foods which we had already had our first taste of Oatmeal. Excited to get him on one serving per day of that then moving on to vegetables soon after.
4 mo Survey!
Age: 4 months and 2 weeks
Height/Weight : 14lbs, 3oz and 24 & 1/4 inches
Dr Appts : he did great at his 4mo appt and does not have to go back until his one in January!
Changes : he is getting so much bigger, my little newborn baby that looks like every other newborn is long gone and my handsome big boy is here to stay! He is sitting up assisted and we are working on letting him stand (while we hold his hands of course) as he loves to push up and try! He is also now my little tummy guy as anytime he is on his back he almost immediately rolls over to his tummy! He also tries his hardest to push up, so we might have a crawler here soon (lord help us and the kitty!) He is also teething which means more drool than I can care to handle. The Dr felt his bottom gums and says we might have a nub popping through here soon!
Sleeping: since DST he goes to bed at 6:30pm and gets up around 6:30-7am! It is great as Kyle and I get our time together at night and he is up and ready to go when we need to leave for work. Not so fun on weekends when we want to sleep later though but he is totally worth it.
Accomplishments : grabs his feet, can sit unassisted for a few seconds, can stand with the help of hands, attempts to hold his own bottle and knows its where his food is, grabs and holds on to toys and can also put them in his mouth, rolls over both ways great.

Eyes : blue and grey, I love his eyes they are so pretty! He is going to be a heart breaker lol
