5 months old with 4 month stats and comparison pics of Elle

Nolan and Marcy
(nice roaring fire in the background by J)

Check out the big boy in the high-chair

Comparison pic of Elle in the same outfit HOWEVER she was 9 months when she wore it! Noli after his 4 month appointment

Nolan's 4 month well visit info:
- weight 15 lbs 10 oz (55%)
- 25 1/2 inches (55%)
- Head circumference 41.5 cm (25%)
- Nolan's appointment went great, he only cried for a brief moment after his shots We were given the go-ahead to start cereal and baby food.

Other things about Noli:

- rolled over from stomach to back once, because he majorly dislikes being on his stomach - which is mostly my fault for not putting him on his tummy, since he spits up so much

- still spits after every feeding, sometimes it's a little, sometimes it's a lot. (Elle was the same way)

- No signs of teeth yet. (Elle didn't get her first tooth until 8 months)

- loves to watch Elle, he always hears her coming and immediately is looking for her

- loves being in the Baby Bjorn

- he is constantly reaching/grabbing everything, loves being in the exersaucer and in the rain forest play mat/gym

- loves to talk, and once he gets started he can't stop

- he does great in the bath, kicks and splashes the whole time

- wakes up in the morning happy and talking

- still a great sleeper, loves to nap in his car seat, takes shorter naps in his crib

- sleeps at night from 6:30 pm - 6:30 am (approx). Wakes up once or twice a night, I will give him his pacifier if it's before 2am, if it's after I will feed him. He will ONLY fall asleep and sleep in his car seat or crib.

- Nurses 5 times a day - 6am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm, 2am (these times can vary 30min-1hr depending on the day and nap times). I don't ever wake him to feed him.

- Uses pacifier to fall asleep most of the time, it falls out within about 5 minutes of falling asleep. Other than that, he rarely wants it.

- Barely fitting in size 6 month clothes. Recently in size 3 diapers - he was blasting out the size 2 (For 2 reasons; they were a little small and breast milk acts like a laxative with my kids. Like Elle at this age, Nolan has bowel movements after/during almost every feeding - very regular.)

- He is a very happy, easy, and cuddly baby.


There are only a few things the 2 kids share at age of 4 months, their looks and our love for them... Pics of Elle below when she was 4 months!

I know it's been a while since I've seen him when he seems SO BIG in photos! He just keeps getting cuter! We MUST get together over my "Christmas break!"
