4 Months Old!

Today Graham is 4 months old. He goes for his check-up on Thursday so we'll know stats at that time.

Graham eats between 35 and 40 ounces of breast milk each day during 5 feedings, four of which are from a bottle. We have not started solids at this point and will probably wait a bit longer  because he still struggles to get down a full bottle at one time. Unlike his brother, he stops eating when he's full or when he's got gas in his belly. Sometimes it takes more than half an hour to get him to drink a 7 ounce bottle because he needs to burp so much. If he doesn't get the 7 ounces down then he gets super fussy before it's time to eat.

Graham sleeps through the night from 7:30 pm until 6:30 on days that he goes to daycare and 7:15ish on days he stays at home. We are blessed with another amazing sleeper. Praise Jesus! He has been waking up around 2:30 some nights lately because he's trying to break out of his swaddle. Once he gets out he wakes himself up so we will continue swaddling him at night. There was one night last week that he went without it from the time we put him down until about 2:30, but we've not tried again because he fusses so badly when we don't put him in it. He will get it some day, but we are not necessarily in a rush. Also after he gets a pacifier he usually goes right back to sleep, and so do we.

Oliver and Graham are become best friends quickly these days. Oliver loves getting in Graham's face and talking to him, bringing him toys and a pacifier, and just making sure he's doing alright. Graham has also started laughing at Oliver which is hysterical to watch. Plus it gives Oliver a little attention and entertainment from someone other than Brent or me.

Graham is not quite rolling over yet, but we are practicing when the opportunity arises. He does squeal quite loudly though! As I'm typing this he's laying in the floor rolling from side to side with his legs in the air and squealing at Oliver. They are quite an adorable pair! Graham is getting better at sitting up in his seat and less frustrated at falling sideways at it.

This past weekend my sister and her boyfriend came to visit, which included meeting Graham and watching Oliver play soccer. We were glad they were able to come see us! (I just wish I had more pictures of her and the boys!)
