Fourth Month

The past month has been a lot of fun! Henry is usually a very happy baby, smiling and “talking” when he’s excited. He loves to watch television, especially baseball and football.



We tried cereal but that was an epic fail. He wasn’t too keen on the taste and who could blame him; that stuff is nasty! He loved the flavor of applesauce, but we decided to wait another month or so to try spoon foods again. We were able to switch him from Nutramigen to Gentlease and have also cut back on the cereal that we add so that he’s not getting as many empty calories.

Henry sleeps like a champ most nights. He usually goes to bed by 8:30pm and sleeps until at least 7am each morning. Most Saturdays, Mama gets lucky and sleeps until after 8am. He gets up around 8:15 or 8:30 for church on Sundays. He usually catnaps in the mornings and takes a good 3 hour nap in the afternoons. This is also really nice on the weekends!

Love those chunky thighs!
  


A couple of weeks ago, Henry started to be really shy around new faces or people he doesn’t see every day. This usually only lasts a few minutes and then he starts smiling.



He loves going to the nursery at church and getting to see all the sweet ladies that love on him. He enjoys morning walks with “Biba” (Deb, his wonderful sitter) and Izzy. Deb said that he just babbles away and then eventually nods off to sleep. He loves to go for rides in his stroller, but usually lets you know it’s time to go when you stop moving. He’s the same way in the car; gets really mad at red lights.

We took him to the community pool at Nana and Papa’s and he had a pretty good time sitting in Mama’s lap, playing with the water.


He’s also started to notice Eileen, so I figure it’s only a matter of time before they start playing together. We’re really excited about that and I’m sure Eileen is too! : )



Eileen has a tough, tough life!
