Bacon is 4 Months!


My hair has started falling out.  Damn hormones.  I remember a bunch of it fell out when Eggy was about 4 months old too.  Then, I started growing all this baby hair in the front.  I had to get bangs to help hide it.  Which reminds me, I need a hair cut.  

Bacon is such a moody baby.  Whining and crying one minute, happy and smiling the next.
He has this funny face that he makes when he gets mad or pouts.
Instead of sticking out his bottom lip, he makes this fish face and a growling/whining noise.  Maybe he is jealous of his noona's and appah's big full lips.  Bacon has such a little mouth.  

Bacon gets bored easily.  If he's laying down, he wants you to hold him.  Sometimes, if he's propped up on the Boppy pillow, he'll try to sit up, like he's doing crunches.  If you're holding him, he wants you to stand up and walk around, showing him the sights.  Fortunately, we still have Eggy's old exersaucer.  He seems to enjoy it which gives us a little break, at least for 5 minutes anyway.
Haha, I put a blanket underneath him because his feet get soooo sweaty.  

Maybe that's why he hates the carseat.  Like HATES it.  Sometimes, he'll be okay if I sit back there with him and give him a bottle but it's not comfortable sitting between two carseats.  And I obviously can't do it when I have to drive so i's been real fun on the days I have work and have to take them to halmuni's.  He won't even fall asleep like most babies do in the car.  He'll just cry and scream the whole time.  One time, he cried the whole way home from ma-ma's, all 40-something minutes.  It was brutal.  And when we get him out finally, he's so sweaty from getting all worked up so I'm sure that adds to his discomfort.  But then he'll stop crying as soon as we take him out.  

We stopped giving him his reflux medication for a few days because he hasn't really been spitting up so much.  He was doing pretty good the first few days.  A little bit of spit up but the normal amount that babies probably spit up.  But then he started throwing up a lot more and it was like curdled looking.  So we put him back on.  I'll have to see what the doctor says.

Probably the biggest milestone this month has been that Bacon's learned to use his hands.  Kinda.  He's not exactly grabbing things but he'll try and reach for them.
And if we put something in his hands, he'll bring it to his mouth.  

Bacon's 4 month check up with the pediatrician isn't until Friday so I don't know his stats yet but the scale at my mom's house says he's at least 15 pounds.  I think most of the weight has gone to his thighs.  He even has cellulite on his butt!  But his face or arms aren't that chubby.

New snack

I think she still prefers her hand. When I'm trying to change her diaper, I have to pull her feet down because they get in the way.

Eggy had her 4 month check up with the pediatrician a couple weeks ago.
Height: 26 inches (95th percentile!)
Weight: 14 lbs. 0.1 oz. (55th percentile)
Head Circumference: 16.5 inches (73rd percentile)
She had to get 3 shots (ouch!) and one oral vaccine. I hate needles but I'd take her shots for her if I could.
Her doctor also said that she was teething. That explains all the drooling. Her teeth probably won't show until 6 to 8 months though. And he wants to wait until she's 6 months before we start solids. I don't mind waiting because for me, solids = stinky poop. I should say stinkier poop because it's pretty bad now.

It's been pretty rough these past few weeks. I don't know if it's the teething or what but it has been so hard getting Eggy to bed. She cries every night now. She does fine during the day for her naps though. It's only at night. I hope this doesn't mean we're going to have to cancel our trip to Vegas. Again. Keep your fingers crossed.

Happy 4 Months!


She's getting so big. I still think of her as a little baby but sometimes when I look at her, I'm surprised to see how much she's grown.
She's been trying to stick everything in her mouth. After a while though, she seems to get frustrated, like she's mad that she can't stick the whole thing in her mouth. Or maybe she just gets tired of holding the object. So we just take it away from her.

She's also been drooling a lot more too. My little slobber monster. When I hold her upright, she likes to lick my shoulder. Maybe she is marking her territory. So please excuse any drool stains on my clothes.

After she rolled over the first few times, she wouldn't do it anymore. A few weeks ago, she did it again and hasn't stopped. Any time we put her on her belly, she'll roll right over, making tummy time impossible. But she'll only turn to her left. She's not an ambi-turner, like Zoolander. And she's lazy about it too; she lets gravity do most of the work. I'll try to get a video up.
She's found her feet. But she doesn't suck on those. She still prefers her hand, specifically her pointer finger.

We've finally managed to get her to sleep without being swaddled. It took awhile because she would keep hitting herself in the face but she's doing better.

She's got an appointment with the pediatrician next week. Time for her 4 month shots, ouch! Poor baby.
