Guess What!

4 Months

*Bald spot keepin' it real.

*We celebrated Halloween this month with our families. Redfeather was a scuba diver for the family party and sported his penguin jacket almost everyday.

*Little Chunk is eating every 2 hours now (ugh) and has about 3 oz at every feeding. We have started him on some rice cereal mixed with milk and it has done wonders for his reflux.

*We have the smiliest baby in the whole world. We can't go anywhere without complete strangers stopping to talk with Little Red.

*Red is just now finding the muscles in his voice box to laugh. He will do a few chuckles whenever he hears the Itsy Bitsy Spider, his favorite song ever!

*The belly to back roll over is a piece of cake for our little rolly polly. The back to belly roll over is a little more tricky. He gets 3/4 of the way over and his chubby little arm gets in the way.

*Our 4 month old baby is in 6 month old clothing. He is SO TALL.

*RJ has been meticulously using his fingers recently. His little pinchers are always on the move.

*The 4 month sleep regression has made an appearance. Baby boy is up every 1-2 hours wanting to nurse back to sleep. (ugh!)

No matter how sleep deprived I am, this little boy has brought more joy into our lives than we could have ever imagined. He is my best friend! Happy 4 month birthday little guy!

3 Months

Little Red is 3 months old now! He did not have a doctors appointment this month so I am unsure of his exact weight and height measurements, so I tried the best I could to get accurate stats on him.


*His hair is still sticking around! We do have a few balding spots. Sequoyah says, "he's not losing any hair...he's just growing more head!" We have mastered the come-over.

*Red's eyes are blue but I am starting to see flecks of green make their way in there. It's very possible we will have a green-eyed baby soon.

*Baby boy is eating every 3 hours (sometimes more often during the day). He will chug about 6 oz at every feeding. Champ.

*Still no laugh outta Red. He is SO close. We've tried everything but we're just met with a big goofy baby grin and no laughs! We can't wait to hear his little giggle!

*RJ can officially roll over now. He does not do it intentionally though. He kind of just gets excited during tummy time, tucks his arms in, loses balance and whoopsie-daisy! He always looks so confused- "whoa, how did I get here?"

*3-6 month clothing is our jam right now. When I look at the NB sizes it's hard to believe he ever fit in them! He's getting so big!

*Red gets better at holding onto his toys everyday. Every toy gets a death grip and a trip straight to his mouth.

*Toby tolerates Red, doesn't pay him too much mind. We did teach him a cute new trick to touch him paw to Red when asked "Toby, who is your best friend?" Red of course!

*Sleeping is still a slight struggle. He sleeps for 4 hour stretches at night and only wakes for food. During the day, he will take a nap every hour for 45 mins. 45 mins! That's it! Hoping Red learns some self-soothing techniques and gets some longer naps! He does sleep in his crib, which is really nice.

Redfeather is the sweetest, funnest baby. Sequoyah and I are just enamored with him! He is our pride and joy. Happy three months sweet boy!
