Hunter Nicholas -- Four Months

Hunter turned three months a few ago and what a month he's had.

Here Hunter is at four months

Here is Lee Lee at four months

Here is Caroline at four months

Here is Howard at four months

Here is Tracey at four months

Weight:

Despite the crazy pandemic and importance of social distancing, he did have his four month well-child check up and vaccinations and he weighed 13 pounds 9 ounces

Length:

Officially 24.5" inches long

Clothing size:

Well, 6-9 month clothing... with the occasional larger piece of clothing if I want him to wear something specific of Howard's that he hasn't grown into yet.

Eating:

Hunter loves milk but his feedings are nicely spaced now. He gets several bottles of pumped breast milk while I'm at work and he seems to have adjusted to bottles well. Now that we're all home full time, he's off bottles and back to nursing on demand.

Sleeping:

Hunter sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed. He usually sleeps pretty well but the time change was a little rough... and then his four month vaccinations were a little rough... now who knows our schedule?

New things/discoveries:

First concert at Tracey's school
First national pandemic
First quarentine
First time in his jumper
First time sitting with us at the table
First time sitting in the bumpo seat
Enjoying tummy time more

New Accomplishments:

Getting better with manipulating toys and his pacifier
He cannot sit up by himself yet, but he loves when we help him sit up -- I think he likes being able to see everyone so well
Daddy has officially declared him as our most smiley baby
