Samson : 4 months

Two weeks ago Samson turned four months old, a fact that I still can't believe, yet it must be true because my baby is doing things that only a four month old could do. Last Tuesday, he had his four month check-up. I pre-gamed with some Starbucks, to help soften the blow of vaccinations. It ended up being a good call (is coffee ever a bad call?). After visiting the pediatrician, we ALL were on Team No-Nap, which is the worst kind of team to be on, especially after a morning with vaccinations. We were all so excited when it turned out to be the longest. day. ever. Thankfully, this next day Samson woke up EIGHTEEN weeks old and was finally back to his happy little self.

This month has seen a lot of changes in our baby boy. He has turned into a total chatter box, with his favorite consonant being "G," but ultimately, he will abandon any sort of formal conversation for the back-and-forth of a raspberry blowing competition. Quite the gentleman. The biggest, most exciting milestone this month happened the day after his 4 month birthday. We woke up to find he had rolled over to sleep on his tummy. After weeks of coaching and coaxing and cheering, Samson rolled from his back to his belly without an audience. Kind of anti-climatic. Don't worry though, he's been showing of his new skills ever since. And just to prove he could still throw us for a loop, he started sucking his thumb on Mother's Day while I was at work.

Age : 4 months

Height : 25 3/4"

Weight : 15 lbs 12 oz

Clothes : Still fits in 0-3 months, starting to wear a few 3-6 months

Diapers : Size 2 Pampers, small setting Charlie Bananas

Eating : 6.5 oz/5 x a day

Sleeping : 8:30pm-7am, a long morning nap and a short afternoon nap

Pacifiers : MAM pacifiers and his THUMB

Likes : Eating is first and foremost his favorite activity, doing anything with Cash, bath time, being outside, mirrors, jumping in his bouncer. Samson is almost always happy and content, especially when his brother Cash is around.

Dislikes : Not getting his bottle immediately as soon as the first sign of hunger shows itself, napping in his crib, being put in his car seat,  and spit up that comes out of his nose (not fun for anyone). Let's just put it this way, whoever said "happy wife, happy life" obviously doesn't know what it's like to live with an unhappy baby.
