Last week Blake had his 4 month appointment. He was 25" (57th percentile) and 13 lbs (15th percentile). So he's pretty small. He doesn't have the chubbiness too him like a lot of babies his age. I asked if I should try to feed him some more but the doctor said he's fine.
He's starting to put everything he gets his hands on to his mouth, he likes to chew on stuff. He's also finally letting me read some books to him occasionally. And now that he can rollover he has a new favorite sleeping position, the exact position that I sleep in. He sleeps on his right side, partly on his stomach, with his left leg bent up, just like me. He always makes me laugh with all of his giggles. And it makes me a little sad when I put him to sleep every night, I always want to spend more time with him. But it's worth it because my favorite time is getting him out of his crib in the morning. He does all of his stretches and wiggling around, and then come the smiles and legs kicking from the excitement of seeing Aaron or me. (It's important to let him do his stretches first though or else he gets mad!)
On another note, Kim went to the hospital again tonight. She got a couple bags of fluids. Hang in there Kim!

Poor Kim! I feel so bad for her. Nobody should have to go through that! I hope it gets better soon!!
Those are similar measurements to Kaelynn at 4 months. She was half an inch taller and a couple ounces heavier. I remember being concerned with her weight then too and the doctor said not to worry. It was shortly after that though that I had to start supplementing with formula because I wasn't producing enough milk.
That makes me feel better. That's interesting about the milk, because this week I added an extra pumping session at work because I felt like my milk production was slowing down.
Wow, Sadie and Blake are about the same size. When I took Sadie for her 2 month check up (but it was more like 2.5 months) she was 24.5 in (97%) and 13.6 lbs (95%). She is a big girl. She loves to eat!!
I'm sorry to hear about Kim. It's unfortuniate that she has such rough pregnancies.
