4 Months - Boone

What a ham! Is it just me, or is this book getting smaller each month?

This little guy spends many more hours of his days smiling away. He's such a happy kid in the mornings, and Brandon and I are still confused as to how we ended up with a morning person for a child. We'll take it though! It's a great way to start each day! 

We're really looking forward to celebrating Christmas with Boone this year. It's going to be such fun to experience Christmas with a baby! 

He's doing really well in daycare and seems to bring a lot of joy to his teachers. We're grateful for them! He likes cuddling with them in the mornings, and playing with them in the afternoons.

Likes/Dislikes:

- I like being outside.

- I like being in the wrap on my mommy.
- I like being in my bouncer on the countertop.
- I also like my jumper.
- I like eating. I dislike waiting to eat. Food is really important to me!
- I dislike being on my stomach for long periods of time.

Milestones and Memories:
- I'm wearing size 2 diapers.

- I'm trying to eat both of my hands...at once...not just one any more!
- I laugh when I see someone being silly, or if I get scared (but not too scared)!
- I fixate on red things. Mommy and daddy think that color must be really easy for me to see because I notice it everywhere!
- Mommy takes me to Uncle Nic for weekly chiropractic adjustments.

Eating Habits:
Eats 5 ounces every 3-4 hours when bottlefed.
Nurses mornings, evenings, and weekends.

Sleep Habits:

Sleeps up to 12 hours straight at night; some nights I'm still waking up to eat, but typically only once. Occasionally, I sleep in footie pajamas - no swaddle, but I don't have a strong preference for either, just depends on the night!
