About Erin

I was born and rasied in Cape Girardeau. After college I got married and we moved to St. Louis a year later. Soon after we bought a house and had a baby. Our lastest adventure was deciding to bring our family back to Cape! It's great being so close to both sets of grandparents and family!

Colton- 4 Months


Little boy you are 4 months old!!  I feel like you are going to be driving before we know it.  You have the sweetest little personality these day and don't get upset much.  Really the only times you fuss are if you are hungry, tired or overstimulated.  Other than that you are mellow yellow.  Here are a few things that we want to remember about you at 4 months old:
 
* You are rolling from side to side but haven't rolled over yet.  You get to one side and then flop back on your back, but I feel like you are really close to being able to roll over.
 
* You smile and talk a lot.  You are almost laughing but it usually turns into a loud sequel and smile.
 
* You love to watch TV and your brother.  You are pretty continue if you can hear a voice you know.
 
* You can turn yourself all around on the floor or in your bed at night.  Sometimes when you are playing on your activity mat and I look away for just a second you have completely changed directions.
 
* You are still sleeping swaddled and probably will until you can roll over.  I feel like right now you just sleep better when you are swaddled but you do take naps at Mrs. Erica's without being swaddled so it probably just a mom thing. :)
 
* You are wearing size 2 diapers and 3-6 month clothing.  (I did just pull out and wash all of the 6-9 month clothing because I think you will be in it very soon).
 
* We changed you to soy formula which has helped your belly issues some but we are still trying to work a few things out.  Hopefully we will have it all figured out by your 5 month post.
 
* We gave rice cereal a second try but it made your belly really hurt and you were up a lot that night.  We decided that there will be no more trying with rice cereal.
 
* You are taking 5-6, 6oz bottles a day.
 
* Here is your daily schedule: 6:30 am- bottle; 9:30 am- bottle; 10 am- nap; 12:30 pm- bottle; 1 pm- nap; 3:30 or 4:30 pm- bottle (depending on mood); 5:45 or 6 pm- nap; 7 pm- bath then 7:20 bottle and bed.
 
* You sometimes sleep until 1 am and need a bottle and then go back to sleep till 4ish and need to be rocked again or put in the swing or in bed with me.  For a few weeks you have been getting up every 2 hours, sometimes you just need your paci but other times you need to be rocked and other times you need a bottle.  I think a lot of it is gas/belly issues.  We have been trying to figure a few things out but nothing has really helped.  Hopefully it will get better soon.






Looking back at these pictures is crazy all of the changes in just the few short months.  Even despite getting up every 2 hours at 4 months old I still think you are the sweetest baby there is.  I love when you smile and talk.  You are so cute!  You love watching your big brother Frankie and I hope that one day you will be best buddies!!
