4 months

Lola Cate is 4 months old!

She is 16.9 pounds (84th %) and 26 inches long (95th%). 

She is the best baby. Lola Cate sleeps through the night. Typically she goes to sleep around 9:00 and sleeps until 9:00. Occasionally she wakes around 5:30 to eat but I'd say maybe once a week for that. 

She just discovered her feet and now loves to hold them while sitting and laying. 

She is verbal and loves to talk to you when you talk back to her. She lights up any time one of her brothers is around and interacting with her. I think she already has them wrapped around her little fingers. They will literally stop what they are doing to talk to her. 

She is using her hands a lot-reaching, grabbing, etc. 

She is in size 2 diapers, 6-9 month clothes, 

I'm at work now so she is with Anny all day. She takes up to 4 oz in s bottle at a time. About 24 oz all day. In the next month or two we will begin introducing food. 

We are looking forward to her baptism coming up next weekend!

She is so close to rolling over!

Loves her crib. 

Nursing her lip. It's so cute and funny!

Just practicing sitting up in her high chair. 

Dinner on the porch

Tonight the boys were playing with a neighbor in the back yard so I brought Beau's dinner outside with us. He loves being around his big brothers and outside so of course he enjoyed this. He had squash for the second time. And as you can see, he got his belly full and relaxed. We sure are enjoying our summer!

Doesn't get much sweeter

He got one!

That was really hard!

4 months old

Beau is four months old! He is such a good baby. We are very lucky. And the big brothers are still doing great. They love to hold him and talk to him. They like to be the first ones to greet him in his crib in the morning now that we are on summer break. At his check up today we learned his stats. 

Weight: 18.06 pounds 92%

Height: 26 inches 88%

In comparison to his brothers at 4 months, Luke was half an inch longer but half a pound lighter. Henry was also 26 inches but half a pound heavier. My expectations were that he would be bigger then both boys but he isn't. So we will see how he continues to grow. 

Fun facts at 4 months

We started cereal. I think he likes it, maybe. Doesn't quite get the swallowing thing because I don't think he understands that it's food I'm putting in. The big bros can't wait til I let them feed him. We start veggies in a week. 

He sleeps great through the night. Most nights he is in bed by 9:00 and wakes around 7:30/8:00 now that we are home for the summer. It feels great letting him sleep til he wakes on his own instead of having to wake him up to leave the house. 

He wakes up happy and talking. 

He wants to sit up or stand all the time. He likes to see his big brothers all the time. They are his entertainment. 

Size 3 diapers, 6-9 month clothing, 6 oz bottles. And we've started the vitamin D supplement daily. 

Naps aren't great. Poor kid gets shuffled all over town with activities for the family. But he is happy in the car and that's when he gets his good cat naps in. Occasionally I can get a good nap out of him in the afternoons in his crib, but not often. He has 2 loud and full of energy brothers. 

He likes his jumper. Like Luke did. 

He is beginning to hold objects. And reach for things. 

Very content being outside. 

He is teething. Drool and chewing all the time. 

Sleeping on mommies legs. 

Hands! He loves to talk to and hold his own hands. It's really cute! He is actually reaching for his foot here. He is very intrigued by his feet. 

Morning brotherly love. 

Chewing. 

Standing. 

Sleeping. I think this May be a favorite blanket in the future. It's a handme down from Henry. 

Cereal!

Sunbathing (mid yawn)

Comparing

At 4 months I see Henry and Beau have the same nose. Luke has Thomas' nose. Luke and Henry have similar chins. I think Beau May have mine. All three have the same lips. Eyes, I can't decide. Luke definitely has Thomas' tear drop eyes, just not as drastic as his. I don't think Henry or Beau do. All three have Thomas' lashes. Lucky ducks.
