Solids

I'm so glad Wiley has started having solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner! It has made a huge difference in his feedings. He went from 4oz of formula every 2hrs to 4-5 feedings a day and the last two nights he has slept through the night, which means more sleep for me...knock on wood! I hope that he feels better now too because before I felt like he never got full from just having formula. Everything still goes right to his mouth if it's within reach. I have to keep a bib on him constantly because of the drool and he chews on it all the time. I will say that feeding him solids is a messy job...food ends up everywhere!


Sunday will be Wiley's first Easter and I'm so excited! I'm still thinking of how we're going to spend the day but I know we will have fun whatever we decide to do. This is going to be such a great year with our little boy...I love experiencing all of his "firsts" and there are so many to come!

Growing Up Tall

Wy had his 4 month check up yesterday! He's going to be tall and thin just like his daddy. He's finally able to "officially" have solids now even though I've been giving them to him for a few weeks now trying to fill him up. Here's what he's doing at four months:

  • 16lbs 8oz and 26" long
  • Eating 4oz every 2hrs but I'm trying to strech it out to 5oz every 3hrs
  • Loves oatmeal with banana for breakfast and dinner
  • Smiles, talks and makes noises constantly
  • Still rolling over on his back during tummy time and is so close to rolling from back to belly...any day now
  • Can bare all his weight on his legs and loves to stand up
  • Beginning to love his exersaucer
  • Hands are always in his mouth along everything he can fit in there
  • Sleeping pretty well at night atleast 4-5 hours straight but pedi says he wakes up more out of habbit but I think he's doing grea
  • Wearing size 3 diapers and 3-6 month clothes
  • Loves to cuddle
