JOY in the journey : 4 months

Baby Mag is 4 months old! He has not slowed down in his growth AT ALL! I know I'm always saying how huge he is…but here is proof! At his 4 month Dr. appointment he weighed in at a whopping 18 pounds 12 ounces which puts him in the 92 percentile. YOWZA! He was 26.25 inches tall (86 percentile) and his head was 16.85 inches (76 percentile). He is currently wearing size 6-12 month or 9 month in all of his clothes and we reluctantly had to move him up to a size FOUR diapers after dealing with WAY too many blowouts. He eats about every 3-4 hours during the day and is still not interested in sleeping through the night. His routine has so far been to go to sleep around 9pm then wake up anytime from 2-3am, then again around 6am, then again around 8-9am. BUT…there have been plenty of nights where he has decided he'd rather see my face every 2-3 hours instead. Someday I will sleep through a full night…someday.

Mag decided to learn a new trick of rolling over from his tummy to his back on September 29, 9 days before he turned 4 months. Sylvie also rolled for the first time exactly 9 days before she turned 4 months, crazy huh?!? Cole was letting me sleep in and Magnus decided it was time to roll over for his daddy. Luckily he showed off again to me when I finally got up.

He continues to amaze us with how incredibly happy he is, pretty much all the time! He loves staring at me, Cole, Sylvie, or anyone else he can get eye contact with, then just lighting up in a huge smile! Magnus has been obsessed with his pacifier from day 1, but now he's also figured out he can suck on his hands. He loves attempting to stick them both in his mouth at the same time which usually results in a drooly mess. His baby noises are way too cute for words and his big eyes are my favorite! Homeboy is still pretty much bald but it's so cute! Can't believe this guy's already 1/3 of the way to 1 year old! We love you Magnus Anthony!
