Sam's 4 Months


Here are his 4 Month Stats:

Length - (26.5 inches) 93%
Head Circ. - ( 44.5 cm) 95%
Weight - (14 lbs 10 oz) 44%

Still tall and skinny, with a really big head like his sister.
  • Loves to watch Shayla. He is the first thing Shayla asks for when she wakes up too. Love :) They are beginning to interact and have fun with each other.
  • Has the perfect baby giggles, coos, and squeals. And loves to be tickled.
  • Rolling from his stomach to his back.
  • Just beginning to grab at things and shoving them in his mouth. His favorite thing is a soft bib or his blankie. If he's not already gnawing on his hand.
  • Such a drooly kid! We seem to be changing bibs/outfits constantly.
  • Has the most beautiful smile (which mesmerizes his mama).
  • Still tons of diaper changes, even several in the middle of the night.
  • Not sleeping through the night (with the exception of one day - my birthday). We did move the crib into his room, but he still spends most of the night in bed with us.
  • Fell into a good napping schedule and goes to bed at 8. So nice to put both kids down at the same time!
  • Began liking the swing somewhat and will even fall asleep in it.
  • Not a fan of being outdoors, unless it is not windy and not too sunny for his sensitive eyes.
  • Would be happy all day if all I did was look at him. "Face time" is what I call it.
  • Got pinkeye and an ear infection after a 2 week long cold (we were all sick). He's a trooper though. If Shayla had been that sick at that age it would have been HELL. Really.
  • Wants to sit, or be upright all of the time. Always doing little crunches. He's Bumbo-ing a lot these days.
  • Makes this coughing sound when he's hungry.
  • Cries when he hears other cries - he seems so sensitive to the feelings of others!
  • Loves to kick his legs and "jump" in our laps. Hoping to get some good use out of our Johnny Jump Up soon!

His personality is really beginning to shine through and he is just the sweetest thing. I love him to death!

  3. Love these sweet babies. We have really enjoyed spending time with you and the kids. I love the Ethan and Shayla get along so well and I'm sad that Shayla and Sam won't really remember us much....

  4. Sam is such a sweetie-pie! He is starting to look a lot like his cousin, Preston.
