4 mo Alexander

Well Mr chunk a lunk is growing rapidly, same way as big brother did at this age. 20lbs and 28 in long. The staff at the pediatrician couldn't stop holding him and kept comparing him to Gio. Alexander had a good check up until he got too tired and screamed because he was ready for a nap. Pedi said you make big healthy milk loving babies lol. She said he could go all night without a feeding, said totally read the literature but you come over and let him know that at 1am, lol.  My 4 mo baby is darling! Hands are very yummy right now bc he can get them in and soothe those achy teething gums. Pedi said no teeth just yet, probably more likey sore gums. He is tryin to roll. He'll swing his legs and go onto his side but not fully onto tummy just yet. We prop him up to sit up but big ol head will have him falling over bc he wants those hands in his mouth and then he isn't balancing on anything too cute. He likes teething toys to suck on but if they fall out he gets highly upset. He clasps his hands and grabbing onto things which go straight into his mouth, but coordination is not all there so frustration builds up quickly and man is he vocal about it. Super Alex will let you hear his roar of frustration quickly or when he doesn't want to be alone. He has been getting very fussy bc he fights naps and is tired but interested in what's going on around him, otherwise he is a great sleeper. He loves when gio gets close and is all smiles! He is going to get a gold medal in nursing Olympics bc he wants to take me with him as he turns and cranes his necks or flips his body to see what's going on. Then wonders why mommy's milk didn't go with him, little man doesn't want to miss a thing. He was snacking instead of full out meals so we put a curb to that bc it was getting nonstop.
Alex has good head control when he is held and loves looking at everything, he makes sure to hold on to ur shirt, ear or hair lol. He is starting to giggle alot more and is reaching for his feet not exactly in his mouth just yet, lol. I love when be wakes up he curls up and then fully stretches out for a while too cute. Swaddling is still favored when for nighttime sleep and occasionally for naps when his hands keep him up from too much sucking. Love this tender age and discovering new things all over again with my super baby Alexander!
