4 Months!

So, my baby is 4 months now. Well, I guess it's actually about 4 and 1/2. Although this time has been hard, I am so thankful for this little ray of sunshine in our lives. He is always quick to smile, and really really really loves his Mommy. This can be hard, when I've had a long day, and really want him to go to Jake, but, it's nice to feel so loved. I took him to the Dr. last week, and she said he is doing wonderfully. He is 17 pounds, 9 oz. and 26 1/2 inches long, which puts him in the 90th percentile for both. He is big, and strong, which is good. He can roll over, but, doesn't do it very often, because he is still most comfortable in my arms, and doesn't love floor time. He still has just 2 teeth, but, I expect to see more cropping up soon. He is not a great sleeper, still, which I hope to change. I fully plan on doing sleep training this time. I just HAVE to. I'm just too tired and grouchy all the time. He loves to giggle at his brother and sister, and watches their every move. I keep thinking he will become more content when he is able to romp and wrestle with them. He, still, to this day, has not had an ounce of formula. I am quite proud to say this, because he hasn't really been breastfeeding. I have been pumping, like a milk cow, for these 4 months. My body has never been cut out for nursing, but, it doesn't have problems producing milk. It has been a sacrifice, and after scaling back on pumping, my milk is almost completely dried up. This has been emotional decision for me, but, I think it is for the best. I will feel so much better. I have a really hard time working out, and losing weight while producing milk. It takes everything out of me. Although I feel selfish, I can't wait to feel a little normal again. I have a lot of frozen breastmilk, which will probably last at least another month. I wanted to get to to 6 months, but, after the blessing of my Pediatrician, (I just LOVE her, by the way. Sooo important to get one you love) she assured me he would be just fine, and I have done such a great job with him so far. I tried Rice Cereal with him, for the first time, last week, and he didn't like it at all! I'll keep trying, though, and he may learn to love it soon. I included a short video of his rolling over skills. Enjoy!! I just heart my baby.
