Scout // 4 Months

Scout had his 4-month checkup today and we got to see how much he has grown, unfortunately he had to get some shots. We did get the ok to start cereal and some foods. He has definitely made some big changes over the month as far as his strength and movements. He is more active and vocal. We are starting to really see his personality. As you can tell by the photos I post, he is so happy and playful. I can already tell he is going to be quite the social little guy. After reading what Sawyer was doing at this age, we decide to bring out the Jolly Jumper and he loved it! We also plan to let him try out the walker this week too.

Here is how Sawyer stacked up when he was four months. Once again they are super close, even the exact same weight!

Scout 4 Month stats

weight: 15 lbs. 2 oz. (41 percentile) - at 3 months he was 14 lbs. 6 oz.

height: 25 1/4 inches (52 percentile) - at 3 months he was 25 inches

clothing: 3-6 and 6 months. 3 months is really too small. Wearing 6-12 month socks

diapers: still Size 2

eating: Same as last month.....breast milk, eating every 3-5 hours depending on how active he is. Earring longer each time for 15-18 minutes. We think he might be ready for some cereal/oatmeal because he isn't sleeping as long at night now. He seems to be hungry every 4-5 hours at night too when it used to be more like 6-8.

sleeping: He is great at sleeping at night, will eat and go right to bed but not sleeping as long as he used to, 4-5 hour stretches. Sleeping better at school now though, has even taken a 3-hour nap there.

teething: No sign of teeth yet but he is drooling like crazy and constantly chews on his WHOLE hand, yes the whole thing fits in his little mouth.

other updates: Holding his head up on his own and even acting like he wants to crawl. He talks a ton, constantly cooing and babbling like he is trying to converse with us. He reminds me of Sawyer, always moving his arms and legs, especially to music or when he is excited.

Here are some more pictures and videos from the month:

he was so happy during our shoot, had to share a couple more

Scout // 3 Months

This was a big month for Mr. Scout! He started school and mommy went back to work. I can already tell he enjoys it because he smiles every morning when I drop him off. He is such a happy baby and just seems to go with the flow. I think that is mostly because John and I are more relaxed this round.

Here is how Sawyer stacked up when he was three months. They are almost exactly the same size and eating the same too. Crazy!

Scout 3 Month stats

weight: 14 lbs. 6 oz.  - at 2 month he was 13.1 lbs.

height: 25 inches - at 2 month he was 23 1/4 inches

clothing: 3 month size is getting snug so mostly 3-6 month. Wearing 6-12 month socks

diapers: still Size 2

eating: breast milk, eating every 3-5 hours depending on how active he is. He feeds for about 10-15 minutes. Last weekend he had an 8.5 and 9.5 hour stretch between feedings! He typically still wakes me up once though in the middle of the night to eat but every few days will go all night. I go up on lunch every day and feed him which we both love!

sleeping: averages 4-5 hours at night. Since starting school is his not sleeping much during the day. Usually 30-40 minutes stretches.  He has a new record for longest time sleeping at 9.5 hours!

other updates: He has rolled over both ways but isn't doing it all the time. He loves being around the other kids at school and try to chat back with them. He is reaching for toys and able to grab and hold them. He enjoys tummy time too!

Here are some more pictures from the month:

Scout // 2 Months

Scout is 2 months!We are loving every moment with our little guy and adjusting nicely to having two kiddos. We went for his 2-month check up today with his doctor and he looks great. He had to get 4 immunizations (1 oral), he handled it well but it was so sad. He starts school in 3 weeks, which of course means I go back to work in 3 weeks. It is flying by and I know it is going to be much harder this round to go back. I absolutely love my job but being my last child/last maternity leave, I am savoring every moment with him. Say some prayers for me...tears will be shed I am sure.

Here is how Sawyer stacked up when he was two months old, Scout is bigger in all areas except his head, ha!:

Scout 2 Month stats

weight: 13 lbs. 1 oz.  - 68 percentile (at 1 month he was 11 lbs.)

height: 23 1/4 inches - 61 percentile (at 1 month he was 22 inches)

clothing: all 3 month and 3-6 month. His 0-3 month socks are too small on his big feet

diapers: moved him yesterday to Size 2

eating: breast milk, eating every 3-5 hours depending on how active he is. He feeds for about 10-15 minutes. He went the longest between feedings this weekend at 8.5 hours. Last night he went 7 hours.

sleeping: averages 4-5 hours at night. Sleeping less during the day but still sleeps about 50% of the time. Last weekend he slept the longest he has yet about 7 hours.

other updates: In true Hamra boy fashion we have a talker and a mover. He loves to chat and even sounds like he can say "hi". Trying really hard to rollover but hasn't mastered it quite yet. Not really a fan of the nap nanny any more but really likes his vibrating bouncy seat and still loving the Baby Bjorn. I just ordered a Ergo Baby carrier to try because the Bjorn has been hurting my lower back, can't wait to try it out.
