4 months!

Patrick is 4 months old today. He had his 4 month check up today. Right now, Patrick is weighing in at 11 lbs, 11 oz! He's huge. I can't believe how tiny he used to be sometimes. The doctor is happy with his progress. He's in the 20th percentile for weight for 4 month olds, and he doesn't get on the chart for length. Too short!

I got a new camera for Christmas, so I have about a million pictures of Patrick.

You can see most of them there...

We had a good first Christmas with Patrick. Lots of places to go, even more people to hold him. I really think for the first couple days after Christmas he was just bored because we didn't have to leave the house. Nothing too exciting for Patrick, but we're looking forward to next year.

He's taking about 5 oz every time he eats, and every once in awhile we have issues with reflux, but not nearly as much. We can't put him in preemie clothes at all any more, so he's in newborn and 0-3 month sizes! I think he had 3 or 4 special Christmas outfits with a couple of funny hats.

Look at how big he is!!

I think Jon and I are getting more sleep now. Either that, or we're getting used to the lack of sleep. Sometimes Patrick will go 5 hours without waking up and he goes back to sleep a lot faster than he was. The other day I sat Patrick in his bumbo chair, and he's doing a pretty good job of keeping his head up. He gets tired after a while, but it's something new for him. He's still not a big fan of being on his tummy, but he pushed his foot into the floor and took care of that a couple nights ago! Pretty sure that it counts as rolling over on his own.

I don't know, we haven't had any big news for a while! It's kind of nice. Right now we're waiting to hear if Jon's cousin Josie has had her baby yet. We know she's on maternity leave right now!

I know it's late, but Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
