Jackson turned 4 months old on October 28. He is a happy, fun baby but has been having lots of trouble sleeping, both in naps and at night. His naps have never been great unless he was in the swing, but he's now down to only making it for 30 minutes before waking up and crying--and being next to impossible to get back to sleep.
Thankfully, his night sleep is starting to improve--just woke up twice last night, and again at 6 AM. Hopefully he made it until 7, which is his breakfast time.
The lack of sleeping at night is even harder because right about the time I came to work, he was sleeping from 8 PM to 7 AM! Even before that, he'd sleep from 8 PM to 4:30 AM and then go back to sleep until 7:30. So going back to night wakings has been even harder on us than if he had been waking up at night the entire time.
4-month favorites:
Eating! Yummy milk!
Lincoln :)
Sucking/chewing on anything, including but not limited tohis fists, toys, anyone's hand/arm/etc.
Smiling/squealing
(doesn't laugh as much as Lincoln did at this age)
Peeing everywhere with his diaper off. Must be the chill in the air!
The mirror. Such fun!
Batting at pictures in books/trying to turn the page
Grabbing at his feet--starting to try to get them into his mouth!
4-month dislikes:
Teething. Ugh!!
Shots at the doctor (but really, who likes those??)
Napping his needed hour and a half/sleeping through the night
Trying to sleep without the pacifier
Not having every whim catered to = screaming fits! :(
