Micah is 4 months old!

Yesterday Micah turned 4 months old! Today we took him to the doctor. He weighed 14lbs, 3 ounces (40th percentile - although I think it's a little low because I didn't have time to feed him after his nap and before the appointment...), height is 25.5 inches (90th percentile....luckily he seems to have TJ's height genes), and his head circumference was 41.7cm (40th percentile). Doctor says he looks great and is somewhat advanced to be rolling over so much! Sadly, he had to live through 4 vaccine shots before we left there. He is napping now but the effects are supposed to show in about another 5 hours....great...

He is a very smiley happy boy most of the time. He stopped sleeping in his swaddle this past weekend and last night he broke free from the sleep positioner. So we took out his crib bumper pad also and now it's just a baby in a crib. Of course since he loves to roll over so much, I mostly find him sleeping on his tummy now. The dr said that it was okay now and really there isn't much we can do about it - other than constantly running up there to flip him onto his back. We'll put him down on his back and let him stay on his tummy if he rolls there. We're also putting him down and letting him fall asleep on his own, which usually involves a little crying but he's usually asleep within 10 or 15 minutes, so it's making the put to bed routine a little easier on us (other than listening to the crying!).

We're probably going to start him on some rice cereal at 5 months and just continue breastfeeding exclusively until then. The doctor also suggested getting him comfortable with a cup of a small amount of water while he's still in the stage of putting everything in his mouth.

That's the update from today!
