Everett: September 2015

Brings Toys to His Mouth

Everett is very interested in everything!

Everett is now 4 months old and such a happy baby! He had his 4 month check-up at the pediatrician the other day, and here are his stats:
Weight = 18lb 4oz, over 95th Percentile
Length = 27inches, over 95th Percentile
Head Circumference = 16.5in, 40th Percentile

So Handsome

So he's also a pretty big baby! Depending on the brand of clothes, he's wearing sizes for a 9 or 12 month old already! Most of his clothes are his brother's hand-me-downs and we love seeing all the dinosaur stuff again!

Kai and Ever, best friends!

Sucked his Thumb for a couple weeks, didn't take.

Everett has definitely found his voice. He loves to hear himself talk, babble, but mostly yell. He likes to yell at his toys when he is sitting in a bouncy chair, or on his tummy, or in the crib... pretty much any time he is not yelling at a person. It is sometimes hard to tell when he actually IS upset because he yells just as loud. You have to look at his face to tell.
He is still having only formula, Organic Earth's Best for Sensitive tummies, to be exact and is pretty on-track with his eating. He has a few bottles at night, likes to go to bed pretty early, ranging from 6:30-9:30 pm depending on the type of day we've had. He will sleep (knock on wood) as many as 5 hours recently in the first shift, then eat change and rock and sing and right back to sleep often for 3-4 more hours! I feel very lucky since we parents like to sleep. His big brother stays up very late and sleeps very heavily so he doesn't usually get interrupted by Ever's sleep/wake cycle. We are all sleeping in the (master) bedroom now, with Everett's bassinet attached to the side of the bed. He also has a crib in his bedroom that is better for daytime naps.

Speaking of daytime naps... again they vary a lot by what we are doing that day. We don't stay home much. When we do stay home he would probably nap about 1-1.5 hours at about 10am, and 2-3 hours at about 3pm. When we are on-the-go, he usually sleeps best while riding in the car or in Mommy's carrier.

Kai and Everett really are the best of friends. Kai has been so excited to be a brother since he first heard the news and he just dotes on Ever so much. He loves to hug him and will lay on the floor and "show him how to use" baby toys, or tell him about the characters in his video game and how he can play with him when he is older (the game) It seems like the feeling is mutual and Everett always is entertained and in awe of what Kai is doing and saying, always has a smile and laugh to give him, and the super-sweetest is when they fall asleep holding hands! I just can't stand it.

Well that's about all I can think of for 4 months!
