Oliver @ 4 Months


Oliver reached the 4 month mark on Saturday, April 2. We went to the doctor this morning and here are his stats.

Weight: 15 lbs (54th %tile)
Height: 26 1/4 in (90th %tile) He grew 4 inches!!
Head:16 3/4 in (59th %tile)

At 4 months, he:
  • Wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month bottoms and 6-9 month tops
  • Is still exclusively breast-fed. He eats about every 3 hours for about 20 mins.
  • Enjoys chewing on anything that gets close to his mouth.
  • Laughs and coos/squeals all the time; he is quite the talker and flirt.
  • Loves watching his big brother, I'm beginning to think he likes him better than me.
  • Loves his playmat and has started to swat and pull on the toys above.
  • Can roll from his stomach to back and super close to being able to roll from his back to front.
  • Hates red lights (seriously the kid screams every time you stop at a red light. It's super frustrating here in Charlotte where there is a light every 30 ft.)
  • is still a great night time sleeper. He goes to bed easily around 7 and wakes up around 3 to eat and then will sleep for 4 more hours. However, he is a short napper. He sleeps about 45 mins to an hour and then is up. We have him swaddled, in his bed, and in a dark room..doesn't seem to matter.
  • Has gotten better about sitting/playing by himself while I'm cooking dinner.
How 4-month-old Oliver is like his...
  • mommy - he likes to be with people and in the middle of the action
  • daddy - everyone says he looks just like Jeremy now, same eye color, takes short naps
  • brother- has a smile that can melt your heart
