4 Months Old

It's official (and a bit late) .... Jonas McKay has turned 4 months old! Since it's such a busy time of year we just barely got around to taking his 4 month photos. Addison was quite the little helper and we got lots of good smiles out of him. He's always so generous with his smiles lately.

This was the first time he has ever worn shoes (and they actually fit). Don't mind the little chicken legs hanging out of his pants....it's quite common with this long boy.

Of course, Addison wanted to be included in the photo shoot so I figured I'd better include her in the blog post too. ;-)

The poor boy got three shots at his well-visit check-up. He was a trooper through it and Addison was a great big sister. She tried her hardest to cheer him up when he was crying over his owies. Luckily he was all smiles within an hour afterwards but the poor thing got a fever the next day which is a typical reaction to vaccinations I'm learning.

Jonas is a VERY happy and easy baby. He's so good at being patient and hanging out while Mommy helps sister here and there. He also finally learned how to sleep through the night! Woohoo! He has always been fairly good at it but without fail would wake up for that one feeding at night and just nibble at it. Somewhere along the way a switch flipped and he's a pretty solid sleeper lately. Most nights he'll sleep straight through depending on how late he finished his last bottle. I'm loving that my nights are getting somewhat back to normal. I'm never very fond of giving up my sleep.

He's also started babbling and jabbering a lot more lately. It's so fun to hear him talk. Addison especially loves it and says "Mommy...he's talking in church!" I have no idea where she got the church relation from it but she says it every time he babbles away. He also found his hands and loves to suck on his fingers....usually two at a time. He almost enjoys doing that more than sucking on his beloved binky.

We are practicing the rolling and the tummy time but he hasn't quite mastered it yet. He's a super long and skinny little boy and he seems to outgrow most of his outfits before we can even wear them once. I'm convinced I'm going to have to start stitching my own clothes for him just to get some with the right length for his long body. He's outgrowing 3-6 month clothes and he's only 4 months old folks!

He's such a happy baby and really adores his sister. No matter what, he always looks at her and just smiles from ear to ear. It's so fun to see their relationship grow. I can hardly wait until they play together.

Weight: 15 lbs (25-50%)
Height: 27.5 inches (95%)
Head: ??

So, the little guy is still long and lean!

We are so lucky to have Jonas in our family. Happy 4 months old big boy!
