4 months

 

Alternatively titled: “HELLLLOOOOO Ladies!”

Dear Isaac,

Today you are four months old.

And a whopping 20 pounds!  (Average 9-10 month old…)

You are busting the seams out of your 6-12 month clothes, and settling comfortably into the 12-18 month size.

           

Could you slow down a little, please?  I love babies and you are getting so big so fast!

 

I took you to the doctor today.  You were so cranky last night (up. all. night) that I was convinced that you had an ear infection.

Not so much.

Just a little stuffy nose. (which makes you KIND OF a chubby little wimp…)

When you were younger, I would always tell people how GOOD you were.  It was one of the first things I would say.  “Oh, Isaac is SOOOO good/easy.”

Well, not so much anymore.

I love you anyway, you know, but let’s just say you are starting to “assert yourself.”  In other words, if you are not strapped to mommy, with a full belly, and being walked around following Joseph or being visually stimulated in some way… you are NOT having it! (read: crying hysterically)

Also, the sleeping through the night thing has gone out the window.  You, little smartie pants, have discovered- why sleep through the night when I can be fed every three hours* in the arms of my mother?

*or constantly from 3 am on, depending on how tired mommy is…

But you are a great napper.

And SO smiley.

And the cutest 20 pounder I know.

I love you SO much.

Now please start sleeping more.  A stuffy nose isn’t THAT bad…
