4 Months

Parker Newton Hudson,

You...
...wear 6-9 month clothes.
...wear a size 2 diaper
...weigh 12lb 14oz (25%) - Dr B suggested you start cereal and vegetables for the extra calories
...are 26 1/4 in tall (90%)
...eat every 3 hours.
...gave up the schedule :( I just can't seem to work one out with you. I am not sure if it is having a big sister or just you, but it doesn't work for us yet.
...you are really different every day but normally it goes something like this: up about 7:30, nap about 9 (1-2 hours), nap about 2 (2ish hours), bed about 9:30 or 10, waking 1-2 times a night (1:30 and 4 or there about). It is really tiring for mommy.
...fight sleep so bad! you cry and cry and scream and cry until you finally give it up. You will scream forever in your bed. I can rock and bounce you and you will give up in less than 10 mins. 
...have found your hands and feet. You are really grabbing for things and can hold on to your feet.
...turn in circles
...have started to like your play mat and hold on to a toy in your carseat
...like to have a lovie to hold on to and suck on
...love, love, love ceiling fans! You will sit there and stare and babble to them. 
...follow mommy and daddy's voices. you will watch us walk all over the room.  
...giggle giggle giggle. You started right around 3 months or so making a little squeal. it is awesome.


We love you Parker man. I sure do wish you would let mommy sleep more! You bring smiles to everyone in the room. Looking forward to the season to come!

Mommy
