Four Months

June 3, 2025

Christian is 4 months old!


At four months, Christian:

Weighs: 15 lbs (30th percentile)

Measures: 26 inches (70th percentile)

Loves:

  • Smiling and laughing
  • His feet
  • Chewing/sucking on his fingers or whatever is within reach
  • When you talk to him and be silly—he smiles and laughs every time!
  • Being sung to
  • Naps in the baby carrier—still his favorite place to be!
  • Watching Scarlett and August, when they talk and sing to him (the “wee wee” song to the tune of Oh Susannah) when they hold him and play with him
  • When it’s time to eat! Always gets the biggest smile:)
  • The song “Some Guys Have All The Luck” by Rod Stewart (it was playing somewhere and got stuck in mama’s head so I sang the “woo woo” part to baby and he laughed! When we play the song he immediately stops fussing 🤣

Dislikes:

  • Still not a huge fan of baths but liked it better last time when I put a towel under him in his baby tub to make it more comfy
  • Being in the car seat if not in motion
  • Being on his own for too long (in his bouncer seat, play mat, etc)
  • Taking naps in the bassinet

Sleep: He naps about 4-5 times throughout the day, still mostly with mama in the carrier, laying on mama, or in his car seat while driving. I have been trying to be consistent the past week or so trying to have him take at least one nap in the bassinet—I think 45 min has been his longest stretch. He has had a bit of a sleep regression (typical at 4 months) and usually wakes up once in the night to nurse, occasionally twice. Usually sleeps until about 8:30am before getting up for the day.

Eating: Nurses every 2-2.5 (sometimes 3) hours throughout the day, usually goes about a 5-6 hour stretch at night before waking to nurse and then goes right back to sleep.

What’s New/Activity:

  • I feel like he is doing SO many new things this month!
  • Still a happy boy most of the time
  • Started rolling over at 16.5 weeks old, both back to tummy and tummy to back, although rolls more easily back to tummy
  • Discovered his toes! He discovered them at the same time he learned to roll over
  • Is grabbing everything including faces, hair, toys on his play mat, clothing, and anything in his reach
  • Enjoys sucking on his fingers and thumb
  • Wants to see everything going on around him! Way more distractible especially when trying to nurse him when brother & sissy are around
  • “Talking” more and more, lots of cooing, squealing and starting to babble—really exploring the different sounds he can make
  • Definitely teething—always wants to be chewing/gumming something and is much more drooly
  •  Scoots forward when on his belly and can actually move forward quite a bit
  • Blowing bubbies and raspberries
