{Update} 4 months

You are such a sweet boy. We don't think you look much different than at 3 months but you are definitely changing and growing each day. Your smiles and laughs are contagious. You are becoming more curious and constantly taking in everything going on around you. You are pretty laid back and love to cuddle. You have quite the serious side as well. We are blessed by you and love you so much. 

At 4 months old, Chandler...

-hardly ever has the hiccups, it seems like if he gets them one time during the day he gets them lots that day, probably just once a week now 

-still sleeping about 10 hours a night, from about 10pm to 8am at night and every 3 hours during the day

-is staying awake more in the evening but still napping alot in the morning and afternoon

-weighs 14.4 pounds, 23 3/4 inches

-wearing cloth full time (smallest setting)

-is growing out of his 3 month clothes starting to wear 3-6 months more

-still doesn't have much hair

-sleeping on his tummy

-is rolling over alot from tummy to back, only once from back to tummy

-sitting up with support

Likes:

-his mommy 

-milk

-being held (of course)

-his hands and now starting to like his feet, he only notices them when he is barefoot

-his "smiley face" pacifier but he also likes to pull it out of his mouth

-the flashing light on his play mat

-lights on the tv

-his changing table

-being tickled

-when daddy kisses his neck

-blankey bear

-Christmas lights

-being outside

Doesn't like so much:

-when I stop feeding him before he is ready or not being fed when he is ready

-baths (he is okay with baths now, no smiling or crying)

-his car seat (really he just doesn't like being put in it when he is tired and hungry) 

-getting shots

-evening time

-tomatoes/tomato sauce (I think that this is what was bothering him and giving him a diaper rash, I could be wrong but so far no tomatoes has been working)

Let's Have Some Feedback:

1. Since evening seems to be a fussy time for Chandler what are tips for cooking dinner with a baby, especially a crying one?

2. When did your baby start sitting up independently?

3. Okay so this might be silly and maybe I just need to work out but when did you stop carrying the infant carrier? That thing is HEAVY. I look ridiculous trying to carry it around.
4. What are your favorite baby products for 6-12 months?

5. We probably aren't starting solids until around 6 months but tell me more about how you did this. (buying vs. making, freezing, tips, starting sippy cups, etc.)
6. Maybe not everyone has bad allergies, I didn't until living in College Station. What are your remedies or suggestions to fighting allergies when breastfeeding?
7. Chandler has always slept swaddled on his back until recently when we woke up to him on his tummy. We have had a hard transition though going "cold turkey" with the swaddle. He is waking himself up every few hours at night now. Not every night but enough to need some help! If you swaddled your babe, any suggestions??
