4 month update

I feel like as soon as Enoch turned 4 months old many things changed! Here's a run down:

• 2-3 longer (1 hour+) naps a day (was 4-5 short (20-40 min) ones)
• 4-5 feedings a day (was 7-8)
• 2 new teeth (yes, the second tooth came in a few days after the first)
• 1-2 tbsp of oatmeal per day
• 1-2 large, stinky poops per day (was 5-6 not so stinky ones)
• 12-14 hours of sleep per night (was 8-10)

I think all of these changes happened because of a combinations of factors:

• Teething
• I read a book on sleep
• Diet change
• Teething (this gets to be counted twice because of the 2 teeth.. )

Enoch even has a new laugh to go along with all of these 4 month changes..

Little Man has also gotten much better at eating recently. He opens his mouth when he sees the spoon and is such a gentleman about keeping his hands down at his side (as opposed to in his oatmeal-filled mouth).

He's also just about to master rolling over.

This is a video of him learning how to grab toys and put them in his mouth. (His hand-eye coordination is not quite there yet, but you can tell he's processing.)

And this is just a fun video to show how we solved the bath time problem of splashing that happened around 2.5 mos when we got him the pony jumperoo and he found his legs. Hugh had the great idea to put his bath tub in our bath tub. So it sits on the shelf of our bath tub (perpendicular to our tub), and I sit on a little stool at the other end our the big tub. Now the only issue is that he's such a wiggle worm that he wiggles into a reclined position instead of sitting up. He's probably about to graduate to the big tub, but we're trying to wait until he can sustainably sit up on his own first.

This is how he should look in the tub (when he sits up properly)!

Another issue about bath time that we solved was the issue of him peeing in the tub everytimehe got in. Now, I keep a plastic cup by the tub as a "pee cup," and as soon as I put him in the tub, I have the cup on hand to collect a urine sample that I then dump into the toilet. Gotta love the desperate inventiveness of us moms!! ;)
