The Clary Family: Four Months

James is 4 months old! I can't believe how fast it has gone! At the same time I can hardly remember life without him!

Size

James weighs 12 lbs 15 oz (10%). He is 25 1/2 inches long (70%). His head is 16 inches (10%). So he's still just itty bitty in weight and head, but still very long. He wears 3-6 month clothes. I can't believe he can fit in 6 month clothes. It totally freaks me out. He's supposed to be my little newborn! He is in size 2 diaper, but he is almost ready for size 3 just because of his length.

Sleeping

James hates to sleep unless he's being held. He takes a few naps during the day that range from 10 minutes to 1 hour depending on if he's being held or not. He has started waking up about once at night to eat. He wakes up a few times and just wants his binky. So nights are getting a little bit better, but still not as great as mom would like. James is still in with mom and dad at night. Mommy doesn't like the idea of having him in the other room... Especially because of the whole needing the binky thing at night.

Eating

James eats a ton. It's amazing he's not fatter... We're still breastfeeding, but if he's still hungry we'll give him formula as well. I think he's almost ready to try rice cereal, but I'm going to put it off as long as I can. I love breastfeeding my sweet little boy because we love to cuddle!

Miscellaneous

James knows how to roll over from his tummy to his back, but doesn't know that he knows how. He just does it by accident occasionally. But he loves to roll around from his back to his tummy.

James loves going for walks at night with mommy and daddy. With the warm weather we have been going almost every single day!

Mommy took James alone in the car for the first time this month. It went pretty well except for the screaming baby... We've gone in the car alone 3 times so far! Wahoo!

James has officially been to BYU twice. Future Cougar right here!!

James did not like being at the doctor for his 4 month check up. He was crying almost from the moment we walked in. Poor baby! But he did pretty well with his shots. Not as fussy as last time so that's good! Just a little bit of a fever.
James also went to the grocery store for the first time this month! He just looks around at everything. It's pretty darn cute!
James took his first road trip to Burley, Idaho. Post to follow.

We love James so much! He is so much fun and has the cutest little personality. He is a goofball just like his daddy and kinda shy just like his mommy. People can't decide who he looks like so I guess that means he's a good mix. We just love laughing and playing with this little fella.
