This cutie is 4 months old now!! Yesterday we went to the doctor for his 4 month appointment and he weighed 16lbs and 9oz and was 26 3/4 inches long. Blake lost some weight after being sick last week and was weighed in this past Monday at 16lbs even. Well since Monday he has gotten his appetite back in full swing and gained 9oz in 5 days! Crazy kid! He is 92nd percentile in weight and great than 95th percentile in height and head circumference.
Blake is still a pretty fussy baby. But I feel like he has changed his manner of being fussy. Prior I felt like had colic and stomach issues. But in the last 3 weeks or so I feel like its becoming more of a behavioral thing. He just isn't content very long. He really has about a 20 min window where is content and then he's over it. Whether its on the floor, in the swing, etc. And obviously thats very frustrating for us.
He's also decided that he likes mommy the most. If Kevin holds him or tries to feed him a bottle or anything, he'll scream bloody murder. If I'm gone for 45 mins from the house and Kevin watches him, he'll cry the entire time I'm gone and then the minute I get home and take him, he's fine. Ugh! After talking to the doctor yesterday, she says thats a personality and temperament issue. Great.
Blake was suppose to start school last week, but he was in the hospital, so he's been once this week, but I'm hoping that will help him start to get better. Although I feel so bad leaving him with the sitter afraid he's going to cry the entire time.
This has definitely been the hardest 4 months of my life. Its exhausting. But seeing his sweet personality starting to come out some makes it all worth it.
