4 Months
Stats:
Weight: 13.2 lbs
Height: 25 in
From 3 months until now at 4 months, Riggs just continues to change! He is so. much. fun! He's continuing to talk, smile and is starting to laugh now, which of course we love. His head is getting very big compared to his body, which makes for a very bobbly little boy. Also, he's loosing his dark hair but only on top. He still has long, thick hair in the back which is strange because usually the opposite happens... hmm. I guess time will tell!
During play time at home, an activity mat as always kept him very entertained up until now. He pretty much thinks it's boring and will stick his lower lip out when we lay him down on it. He would much rather sit up or lay on his stomach. So, that's what he does!
As for eating, he still continues to have my appetite unfortunately. He would eat 24/7 if you'd let him! His teacher says he has a "hollow leg" and that pretty much explains it. Ha
Still sleeping pretty well at night - thank goodness! Goes to bed anywhere from 7-7:45 and sleeps until about 4 or 5, eats, then sleeps until about 6 or 7. Can't complain. Going to bed later does not make him sleep later in the morning; just makes him grumpier at night! He's still not a great napper but is napping in his crib. Yay! Usually takes about four, 40 minutes naps when he's home with me. Daycare is a different story.... maybe 1.5 hrs. total. Arg.
With getting "older" comes the not so fun stuff like teething, getting sick and stranger anxiety. Thus far, he's just drooling like crazy and chewing on his hands but no tooth sighting yet. This past week he had his first illness and it hurt us more than him I believe. Poor guy had to have breathing treatments but he took them like a champ and is on the mend! As for the stranger anxiety, the teachers at school brought this to our attention just this week. So if you meet Riggs or see him and he cries, well you know why. Let's hope this doesn't last long :/

I've survived my first month back to work! Yay!! It's actually gone by very, very fast. It has been a great mix of getting out of the house to work and still having time during the week with my boy.
Call us crazy but Watson and I have planned a trip. Eeek! Mom and Dad are keeping Riggs while we go out of town for a long weekend in October. So for that stranger anxiety.... see why I'm nervous?

As I'm going through pictures, I seem to always be on the other side of the camera. I've got to do better!
Enjoy!
