4 Months!

Gavin is already 4 months old!  He's such a joy and we're so blessed that he is part of our family!

~He's a smiley boy!  His entire face lights up when he smiles!
~We've heard a few giggles and he also shrieks in excitement!
~Gavin is working on his vocal skills.  He frequently squeals and gurgles.  He has several other sounds, including "oohs", "ahhs", "A-goos" and something that sounds a lot like "uh oh!"  He's also starting to blow raspberries.
~He's very close to rolling from his back to his tummy.  With one more umph, he'll be there!
~He's getting better at tummy time and tolerates it for longer periods of time.
~Gavin is getting much better about drinking from bottles.  Since my return to work, it's been quite a journey.  He's gone from fighting and screaming when attempting to feed him, to drinking small amounts at a time, to drinking entire 5 oz bottles with no fighting!  We're very thankful for our patient babysitter!  He's gone from drinking as little at 2.5 oz during a 10 hour day, to 15 oz!
~He almost consistently sleeps through the night.  Every once in a while, he'll wake up to eat and usually goes back down easily.  Typically, he goes to bed between 7:00-8:00pm and wakes up between 5:00-6:00am.  Naps aren't too consistent yet, but he normally takes 3-4 naps a day.  He takes better naps in a vibrating chair/rocking chair rather than his crib.  We're hoping to convince him to take longer naps in his crib!
~He's definitely a big boy!  At one of his recent doctor appointments for his eczema, he weighed 16lbs 8oz! We'll have more specific stats after his 4 month check up in early January.
