4 Months Old

Just look at that cute guy! I can't believe he's 4 months old, not because of how fast it's going, but for how long April dragged on it seems like we should be farther along! I am happy though that its only 4 months because I can remember trying to soak it up with Brenden and Rylan, but that's all I feel like I remember from the early months, just trying to hold on to the baby days. I hope that once this is all well behind me and the kids are grown that I'll be able to remember the baby days and not just that I tried to remember them.

Any way, Miles is getting big and he's quite the goof. He is a super happy and smiley baby, I can get him laughing just by looking at him :) And he is SUPER chill. He really just goes with the flow and takes it all in. We just got back from a trip to San Diego with just Miles with us and he was AWESOME! No crying on any of the flights, handled the time change like a champ, and even survived staying out with us for a birthday party that went late into the night - he slept in my arms without a peep the whole time. It truly was amazing to us just how he went with it all without any fuss. Finally a chill kid ;)

Miles had his 4 month check up Tuesday and everything looked great. He's 14.7 lbs and 25.25 inches, putting him on the longer side and about average for weight. The doctor had no concerns and told me we could start solids now, but we'll likely wait until closer to 6 months like we did with Jake, Brenden, and Rylan. I will start to give him some formula soon since I don't think my milk supply will survive 5 days away from him next month when we go to Jamaica - have I mentioned how excited about 5 days with no kids? :)

So that's about it, Miles is a rock star and we're loving every minute with him!
