4 Month Stats:
Weight: 14.3 pounds (25th-50th percentile)
Length: 24 3/8" (25th-50th percentile)
I took Hudson in today for his 4 month check-up and immunizations. Even being a nurse I still HATE to see my baby get shots. I know they only cry for a minute and then it's over, but it's just one of those times as a mom when you feel so guilty because you know they don't understand why you are doing this to them. Luckily, we LOVE our pediatrician and her nurse is one of my good friends so I always feel like my kids are in very good hands when we have to make a visit to their office.
Hudson has gained about 2.5 pounds since his 2 month visit. He has also grown a little over 2 inches since then. He is still my "little" baby compared to Rylan. I can't find the paper with Rylan's 4 month stats, but I do know that Rylan was 14.9 pounds at just 2 months. I think he was about a good 16.5 pounds by 4 months.
At Four Months Hudson is:
* laughing out loud when he is tickled.
* rolling over from belly to back. We also think he rolled over from back to belly just a few days ago. I had him laying on the floor in the living room on his back and I got up to go in the kitchen. When I looked back he was on his belly.
* pulling his feet up to suck on his toes/socks whenever he can.
* eating solid foods. We started him on cereal last week and he loves it. He has also had sweet peas now. The first time he had sweet peas I don't think he knew what was going on. The second time...I couldn't shove them in his mouth fast enough for him. I think we will move on to bananas next.
* sleeping from about 8:30pm-5:00am each night. Some nights he goes a little longer, but not usually.
* still sleeping in his swing. Due to his reflux he still can't lay flat on his back for long periods of time. I'm hoping once he really gets good at turning over on his belly that he will like to sleep that way and we can finally put him in the crib. Until then, we are keeping Duracell batteries in business with the swing.
* a people watcher. For the most part he is very content to sit in his little chair and just watch Rylan play.
* still loving his pacifier. Rylan liked his pacifier, but gave it up very easily at 6 months. I don't think we will be that lucky with Hudson.
Hudson sleeps like crazy after he gets shots. I gave him Tylenol and he has been asleep since we got home.

He is so precious! I love that kid! Next time I wanna hold him! And shame on us for not getting any pictures of the boys all together, and one of Jolee Kate and Hudson! What were we thinking!? Sure was good seeing yall though. And I would have never guessed that that boy was in the 25th-50th percentile! He looks so solid like Jack was! And I LOVE that!!! He sure is precious, but you already know that. :)
