Little Man is 4 months old today! Everyday is a new adventure with this little guy and I have loved watching him grow into the stinker that he is today! He is growing up so fast that it is crazy to think he's already a third of the way through his first year. Right now, Cohen loves to play with his feet and toes. I lay him on the floor in the morning to play and he will roll right over to his side and gets so close to rolling over to his tummy. It is only a matter of days until he becomes a rollin' man! Most of the time when I try to do tummy time with him, he'll just roll himself right over because he is "so over it." He has also discovered his hands - everything he touches goes into the mouth. Right now he loves pulling my hair and more recently he has started grabbing at my nose and mouth when he is close to my face as I'm burping him. It cracks me up because he is so observant as he feels my face. Yesterday, me, Cohen and Brady were sitting in the window and he started petting Brady. Well, let me rephrase that, pulling on Brady's fur, neck and ears. And one of the ears even made it into the mouth, but sweet lil Brady didn't mind. He is starting to like Cohen more, I think (or at least hope.)
Cohen is down to 4 bottles a day - 8 oz every 4 hours. Now don't freak out because he doesn't always eat the 8 oz...but he is pretty darn close! He also gets his oatmeals in the morning and next week we get to start Gerber Stage 1 food at night for dinner. As far as sleepy time he's been doing really well. No more swaddle - which has helped me relax at night and he goes down around 7:30 and sleeps until 6:30 - but then cuddles with me until 7:30. As soon as I switched him to the 4 hour schedule, he started sleeping throughout the night. It took a few nights of rocking him back to sleep, but he has adjusted pretty well! He is down to 2 big naps during the day with 1 mini catnap before Dad gets home so he isn't a big grump for him. :)
The past 4 months have been so fun and I can't wait to see what he learns this month. It is crazy how he has gone from a baby blob to an interactive baby. I'm itching for spring (as we all are, considering this awful, disgusting weather) so I can bust out the jogger and get my run on with him and Brady. But I am just crazy over this little guy and can't wait to see what the future holds!!!
