Finley was 4 months on December 17 and with the holidays it was quickly here and gone! He is such a sweet baby....if he would only sleep life would be great! Unfortunately Finley has caught every sickness this fall/winter along with having reflux so his sleeping is few and far between. Beau and I have been taking turns sleeping in the nursery so that at least one of us gets a full night of sleep. Finley ranges from waking up 4 to 10 times a night which means we are pretty much exhausted! We know this too will pass, but when you are in the middle of it, life is a little harder! Finley went for his 4 month check up on December 28th and per our pediatrician, he looked great! Here are his stats:
14 pounds (26%)
25 inches tall (43%)
Head: 16 1/2 inches (32%)
He had his shots and the doctor prescribed prevacid for his reflux instead of zantac. Unfortunately the prevacid was going to be $240 a month, so he changed the prescription to nexium....which was $290 a month.....that is ridiculous! Needless to say, I am now buying prevacid over the counter and cutting the capsules in half. He gets half in the morning and half at night...I can't really see any changes yet. Oh, we have also started him on rice cereal and as soon as he gets the hang of it, we are going to start stage 1 baby food. If all goes well with the baby food, I am going to try to make it this time around! We shall see!!! Here is his 4 month photo shoot.
We are starting to sit him up more and it seems to strengthen his core, but no rolling over yet.
