4 Months Old

Well, our little man is now 4 months old. That is so hard to believe. Tonight Mike was cleaning out a diaper bag and found 2 newborn diapers & 2 newborn onesies and we just smiled at them and couldn't believe that Renner was that small 4 months ago.

We took Renner to his 4 month check up last week and he weighed 16 lbs & was 25 3/4 ins long. He's in the 80% percentile for his height & weight. If he keeps growing like this then there's no doubt he may look like his Uncle E. Renner is still mainly on breast milk with formula given only at bedtime. So, since he's doing so well and I enjoy nursing so much I plan to continue on for as long as I can.

Renner's toes are now touching the floor in his bouncer. He really enjoys it. He's rolling over from his tummy to back and is almost rolling from back to tummy. His upper body strength is getting better every day. Thanks so much to his Gran for working with him on his tummy time. He smiles, laughs and squeals all the time. He also raises his eyebrows at us and we definitely see that he'll do it to get the girls' attention when he gets older. He's such a flirt with his eyebrows. I've taken him out by our pool a few times and put his feet and legs in. He likes to kick his legs and make the water splash. My Mom, Gran as I call her, brought Renner to the picnic for my students at school and he was a huge hit. All of my students were loving him. Renner's pediatrician's son was one of my students this year and his mother just had a little girl about 2 months before Renner. Her name is Lourdes and she was at the picnic as well. Lourdes and Renner just stared at one another. It was so cute!

Renner is sleeping very well. He sleeps from 9pm-6:30am mostly. He definitely has a routine in place and it's been such a help to have him use to it at this early of an age.

Tomorrow Mike, Renner & I leave for South Padre Island. It's our first road trip & family vacation. We are excited, a little nervous & anxious to see how everything we're bringing will fit into our car as well as how Renner will handle being confined to his carseat. It'll definitely be a good test for our trip to Georgia at the end of the month.

I'll write about our vacation adventure when we return. Yeah for summer vacation!
