4 Months, Back to work & Off to Daycare

At Four Months: 

Our little guy just gets bigger every day.  It’s amazing how much he changes each month.  He is currently still very excited by his feet and has discovered he can get them into his mouth (yuck).  He’s becoming more coordinated with his (assisted) sitting, standing, and ability to move around/ roll around.  He loves to splash around in the bath and plays with/ mostly chews on his toys.  He’s interested in grabbing everything and once he’s gotten a hold of something he promptly sticks it in his mouth.  And he is still just too cute and soo sweet!

 

Weight: 14 lbs 6 oz (23rd percentile)

Height: 26" (80th percentile)

Still Loves: 

Ceiling fans, lights, tummy time & being held/ cuddled, Blankets, bouncy chair, rolling over (and over, and over...), grabbing his feet, TV

 

New Loves: 

Bath time splashing, putting EVERYTHING in his mouth :-)

 

Hates: 

the car :-(

 

Now he is: 

Rolling over every which way, putting his feet in his mouth, making new noises

 

Sleeping: 

He took great to sleeping in his crib at night.  He hasn't been back in our room since we moved him over, although these days I wish he would just sleep in my bed again.  I never know what kind of night I'm in for.  Some nights he only gets up once, other nights I spend more time in his room than in my bed.  Those nights are especially painful now that I'm back at work :-(

 

 

Back to Work and Off to Daycare: 

Alas, our precious time together has come to an end. The day he turned 4 months old I returned to work and this week Hudson started daycare.  Currently he is attending daycare Mon-Thurs and Jason and I are alternating staying home on Friday’s so he always gets a “three day weekend.”  This makes the situation slightly more tolerable.  I will say that it has been a difficult transition, I think both for he and I.  It will take some time to adjust.  There is lots I could say on the subject and the struggles that I have been battling but I think it is perhaps too soon to talk on the subject.  It has been emotional and exhausting to say the least.  I’ll follow up on this subject next month...
