Caleb = 4 months

Our big boy keeps growing, growing, growing. He weighed in at 17 lbs 3 oz (~80th percentile) and is 27 inches long (95th percentile). He's about the size his sister was at 6 1/2 or 7 months. Crazy!



He keeps getting sweeter and stealing more of our hearts. He's still pretty vocal at times, and will sometimes "sing" along with Mommy, which is beyond precious! He's begun trying to roll from his back to his tummy, but will get stuck with one arm beneath him and sometimes get frustrated.



**UPDATE 1/10/11: Two days after this post, our little dude began rolling all the way from back to tummy. Mommy told him he wasn't supposed to be doing this until about 6 months old, and he thought that was funny. :) **

We've given him rice cereal a couple of times so far. The first time he seemed to like it at first but then got frustrated, we think because he didn't really know how to eat it. The second time he acted pretty disgusted with it. I remember his sister not liking rice cereal very much and was much more appreciative of us giving her oatmeal.









He had been sleeping great, up to 10 1/2 hours at night uninterrupted, UNTIL Mom and Dad tried to move him into the room with his sister. The first two nights were disastrous and we ended up aborting the mission. Every little noise from one of them would wake the other up. A cd with an ocean track played on repeat helped a little, and the third night Caleb slept in the room with Shiloh until 5:30 am (success!). However, the next day Shi came down with a fever (January 1... and has been sick ever since! It was finally determined to be strep throat), so we moved him back into our room until she gets well. He has been sick with a cold (congested, cough, runny nose and eyes) this week and that's causing him to not sleep very well at all, and he also keeps breaking out of his swaddling blanket so that he'll wake up when he's able to move his arms during sleep. We're praying everyone gets well and sleeping patterns soon return to normal! (After all, he looks so sweet when he's sleeping!)
