Deacon: 4-Months

Deacon turned 4-months last week. It's hard to believe he's already that old. With P&F, it seemed like it took forever to hit the 4-month park, but now time is just flying. Here are his stats:

Birth: 7lbs 9oz, 20.5 inches
2 weeks: 8lbs 9oz (49%), 20.25 inches (32%)
1 month: 10lbs 8oz (66%), 21 inches (31%)
2 months: 13lbs 1.6oz (70%), 23 inches (47%)
4 months: 15lbs 13oz (61%), 25 inches (46%)

As you can see, he's growing pretty well. He's also turning into quite a ham and just gives you the biggest and cutest smiles. 

Other than smiling, lots of babbling and "talking," and even some laughing, no huge developments this month. He's still on a 3-hour eating schedule during the day. At night, he's now down to usually just one feed sometime between 2:30-4am. Up until recently, he was still sleeping in his rock and play, but we've since moved him to the pack and play because we were finding in rolled up like a shrimp in the RNP, and that didn't seem too safe or comfortable. We're also weaning him off the swaddle. Tonight is the first night, so wish us luck.

Overall, Deacon is just a wonderful little baby. Eric and I often call him MVB or most valuable baby. He just goes along with anything and everything. Piper and Fletch love him a lot, and he even lets him do this every once in a while.

Although sometimes, I think he's looking to us to rescue him:

With P&F, we started solids at 5 months. I don't know if we'll do that with Deacon, but we'll see. I'm not sure if I'm ready to let my little baby do something so "grown up" as eat people food yet. He's just so cute and cuddly--don't grow up too fast, little boy!
