Ian is 4 months old!!
I posted a brief 4 month update on Ian on my personal facebook for family and friends, but decided to write a more in depth post on this sweet baby. We left Kansas when he was only 8 weeks old, so sadly it seems like those closest to us don't really "know" him. Let me just say this..Ian Alexander is the sweetest, most relaxed, happy baby! We are so lucky.
At four months old, Ian weighs right at 15lbs. He is wearing 6 month clothes. He loves to eat! He nurses about 5-6 times a day. He sleeps through the night from about 10pm-6:30am, nurses back to sleep, then wakes up around 8:30. This is perfect because I can get big brother dressed and eating breakfast before he's awake for the day. He sleeps in his pack n' play, but also loves co-sleeping if we let him.
Ian is a pretty attached baby! There are many days that he wants to be held...all..day..long. Sometimes I can get away with cooking and him in the stroller in the kitchen if he can see me, but most of the time he wants to be held or in the Ergo baby carrier. He used to be Mr. Serious, but now gives away smiles all the time. He also coo's and giggles. He is super ticklish!! He loves looking at his brother and Bradley usually gets the best giggles out of him. He doesn't mind Bradley at all, even when I think Brad may be being too rough with him. Also, when Jordan walks in the room all eyes are on him. Sadly, he only prefers to be held and soothed by mom when he's upset.
As for milestones, he's hit quite a few! He found his feet and can roll over from tummy to back. We are still working on back to tummy. He can also grab for toys if you hold them out in front of him. Way to go, Ian!!
Happy 4 months, Ian! We love you so much!
