4 Months

We had your 4 month shots and yes you cried just as much as you did the last time.  I hate taking you to get shots.  You look at me like you are wondering why I have let someone do this to you.  While we visited the doctor she told me to start you on cereal and see what you thought.  Then at 5 months we can start some baby food.  That day I went to the store and bought you some cereal but you were not that interested.

Sleeping:  You really do fight to sleep now.  You use to only fight naps and fall asleep at night with a bottle but now you are fighting to go to bed sometimes too.  We are still swaddling you and bouncing you to sleep.  You fight so hard not to go to sleep.  It normally only takes 10-15 min to get you to sleep but if you wake up the process starts all over.  Ugh!

Eating:  You are still eating 4 oz of half breast milk and formula. You started cereal this month.  You still have your tongue reflex so you try and push the food out of your mouth instead of swallowing.  I tried to give you cereal 2-3 times a week but you never really wanted and always pushed it out of your mouth.

Clothes:  You are wearing mostly 6 month clothes now and some 3-6 month clothes fit you.  You are so long that your clothes are hard to snap!

Diaper: Still in a size 2 pampers swaddler.

The weather has started to get really nice.  We have started to spend a lot of time outside.

Our good friends Travis and Kelly had their first baby boy on April 2^nd.  His name is Wyatt so we went and visited them the night they came home from the hospital.  You look so big next to him!

We went to Grandma Vicky’s for Easter and then to great grandma Sues for lunch!  We had a long night before Easter so Lakelyn was kind of cranky on Easter.  Grandma had a fun game planned for Lakelyn.  We had clues around the house that lead us to her Easter basket!  It was really cute and a lot of fun!  Not only did the Easter bunny come to grandma Vicky’s but also to great grandma Sue’s and brought her a new rocking chair!

We got out your jumper this month but you are still to small for it.
