LINDEN | FOUR MONTHS

F O U R

 

Four months. How are we here already??? How has four months slipped by this fast?  Linden boy has caused life to fly by at a super sonic speed.

 

Every month with this little man is better than the last.  The exciting thing is that just when I think life with Linden in the mix can't get any better, I know from experience now that it does.  It just keeps getting better.

 

LAST MONTH: 

 

THIS MONTH:

EAT

For the most part, he's still sticking to his feeding schedule from last month which I am entirely okay with.  We started big brother on solids when he turned four months old, but I decided that we are going to try baby led weaning this time around with Linden.  I plan to wait until he's six months old, but since I've learned that each month flies by faster and faster, I've started reading up on the topic to be prepared when the time comes.  I am really looking forward to giving this BLW thing a whirl, and I will be sure to update everyone on how that goes when the time comes.
 

 SLEEP

This month has been less than dreamy and a little rocky on the sleep front.  Linden's been waking up multiple times throughout the night.  Not necessarily to eat either.  This past week has been especially trying with his cold causing him a lot of congestion.  It causes for one grouchy mama in the morning all day.

Linden's developed a bedtime bond with his blanket, bear lovey and paci.  And believe me, he wants all three there with him when it's time for bed.  He definitely takes after Conner in that he wants his face covered by his lovey.

 



 

PLAY

If anything is within reach, it's fair game.  He grabs at anything and everything.  He loves holding tight to his rattles and going to town with them.  Bath time is probably his most favorite time to play.  As soon as he's in the water, he's kicking the water and splashing as much water out of the tub and on me.

Linden loves to be held up over my head and lowered down close to my face before being lifted back up again.  It completely cracks him up.

And we are starting to mimic! I stick my tongue out repetitively making funny noises and he doesn't hesitate to follow my lead doing it just like me.  He also loves it when I tap my finger over his mouth as he makes long, drawn out noises.  That's something that Papa taught Conner at four months so why not teach the same to the little brother.
