Garrett at 4 Months

Ok, I am a pretty bad blogger! I've gotten an iPhone app, so hopefully it will help keep me up to date! Garrett us turning 4 months on Thursday! Time has flown by. I am wanting to keep an update of his milestones for if I ever get around to a baby book!

He is 14lb 8oz and 24.5 inches long! He'll eat about 6 ounces 5-6 times a day, still formula only. He is a crazy thumb sucker (just like his mama :). He'll put his left hand thumb in his mouth and rub his head with his right hand. No rolling over yet, but because he resist all tummy time with a fiery passion. As soon as he's on his back it's happy time. We keep thinking he'll get mad enough to role over at some pout ;-)

Poor baby is still in his brace. We go back July 1st for the 3 month check up with this nighttime brace (doesn't include the 8 weeks in the first brace.) hopefully we will get it off them with no more issues!

He can hold his head really steady and just looks around and watches everything. He laughs and smiles all the time at us and is generally a very happy baby. He wakes up grinning in the morning and goes to bed easily at night. He sleeps from about 8:00 until 5:00 each night and has been since around 2 months. He is spoiling us with what a happy baby he is! Randy and I can sit and watch his faces for hours, it never gets old...

Love

Was it all worth it? I think back on everything we went through. The years of trying, heartache, finanicial, failure. The joy of the pregnancy followed by the loss of his twin. The past 3 years have been a rollercoaster. And i would do it all and so much more just to see his smile.

His unbridled joy on his face when we wake him up each morning. Everytime I pick him up from daycare he grins from ear to ear. I just can't imagine loving him more if I tried. Thank you Lord
for all we experienced. It makes me appreciate even more what we have.
