Brock turned 4 months on Sunday. He weighed in Monday morning at 12 lbs 15 1/2 ounces - just shy of 13 lbs. Up from 10 lbs at his 2 month appt. He is a whopping 24 inches long (19 1/2 at birth) and chubbing up quite nicely. He can roll from tummy to back, but doesn't care to try to roll the other direction. He is all smiles but STILL only teases us with an occasional laugh.
He is sleeping in his own bed now and doing soooo well! He wakes once occasionally to eat but otherwise is almost sleeping through the night.
Earlier this month his Doctor put him on Zantac for "silent reflux" - a condition where acid comes up the throat but the baby doesn't spit up. Monday the Doctor decided to switch and try a different antacid because Brock still cries during feeds and wants to sleep with his head tipped backward. It was a rough couple months trying to figure out why he would sleep great on my arm (aka w/ his head hanging off my arm) but the second I laid him flat, he'd wake up crying. Needless to say I spent his first few months sleeping upright in bed, with him in my arms. (Not the greatest night's sleep to say the least!) We are glad to be figuring this little boy out and helping him to get better sleep and not be in pain.
We are so grateful for this darling love of our lives! Having a boy is such a fun, new, experience and we are enjoying it so much!
