4 Months Old!! :)

Alden is 4 months old. He is such a sweet little boy. I couldn't ask for a better son.

Here are some updates on our little guy! :)

GROWTH: At Alden's check-up he weighed 16 pounds 2 ounces and is 26 inches long. He is in the 75 percentile in both height and weight. He is growing up a storm.

SLEEP: Alden is sleeping through the night. At night, we do our last feeding at 8:30 PM and he is in bed by 9 PM. He will sleep until 7:30 to 8 AM. I am thoroughly enjoying sleeping through the night. It is so nice. During the day he takes his big nap between 10-1. He will sleep about 3 hours for his naps. In the late afternoon, he will sleep for an hour also.

EATING: Alden is still on soy formula. He is doing great on it. He eats about four 8 ounce bottles during the day. He also eats rice once in the morning and once before bed. This Saturday we are starting him on Oatmeal. Then, from now on every Saturday we will try a new food. I'm excited.

CLOTHING: Our big 4 month old is in 6-9 month clothing. The hard thing is that all our 6-9 month clothing is for the summer. Even though it is May, Idaho is still cold. It is in the mid 70's, but definitely not shorts weather.

DIAPERS: Alden is in size 2 diapers. I had a big box of Huggies diapers from Costco that I am still working through. I hope he will fit in Size 2's until those are used up. Fingers crossed.

DEVELOPMENT: Alden is grabbing at EVERYTHING!! He loves my necklace. He loves his play mat because he can grab all the toys. He is doing much better on his belly. He can push up onto his hand with his elbows straight. He reaches and grabs toys on his belly. He's trying really hard to roll over. He gets half-way over and then rolls back.

TOYS: Alden LOVES rattles. He loves the noise and he loves to throw them. He will shake it a ton and then you will see it fly through the air. He also has a toy that has a teddy bear head and a blanket for the body. We take that EVERYWHERE. It is his little comfort.

There is a little update on our little guy. We are having so much fun everyday!!! :)

(Here is my stink bug reading. Lyndon put it in his hands and he held it, so we took a picture. SO CUTE!)
