Tillman passes the four month mark...


Today I decided to finally take the four month pics. So, I gave Tillman a bath, dressed him up, put him down in the crib, ran downstairs to retrieve my camera and I came back to him sleeping. Oh, well, I took a few shots anyway and called it a day. We took him to his four month well-visit this past week. He did well, he's such a happy baby. Up until the you-know-whats... three of them! ugh! He measured in at a whopping 19lbs, 7 oz (98%-tile) and 25 inches and a quarter (71%-tile). Doc was pleased and gave us a prescription strength hydro-cortisone for his eczema. He continues to do very well on his reflux meds. THANK GOD! That was rough going for a while there. Poor fella... now he is sleeping much better and keeping it all down.

He had his first try at the excersaucer today. He did so well, he even turned himself around a little to check out the excitement around the circle. We had to put a blanket between him and the front part so he was more stable, but it came in handy because he is drooling all over the place! Bibs get soaked and replaced, soaked and replaced, soaked and replaced. He is still a super happy baby, just laughing all the time and giving the biggest smiles. I love meeting him in the mornings when he wakes up because once he sees me, he flashes a big smile! He does the same to hubby. We love it. He truly slept through the night several times over Christmas break too! (10pm - 7am) Now he is getting hungry around 4-5-ish, then goes back to sleep. He's getting there. I'm so thankful that he is a big baby who eats well and sleeps well.
