4 months old

Today Ryan is 4 months old! Gosh time really has gone by so fast for all of us. He is now weighing in at 13 pounds 4 oz and 22.5 inches long. He had another set of shots today, but not a formal visit with Dr. P since he had to rush out for an emergency c-section with a distressed baby.

Ryan is making lots of cooing noises, and can now entertain himself for a good 20 minutes on his activity jungle mat. He is still sleeping through the night, and is good even when the day changes and were not in our routine schedule.

Yesterday we started Ryan on his cloth diapers. He seemed to enjoy them, though I notice more than he needs to be changed with them the the plastic. We are hoping to get him in the pool this week for his first time.

Travels

Ryan and I have been traveling nonstop it seems since the end of April. He made his first flight to the USA landing in Boston. He missed most of it sleeping, but we were glad he was " not that crying baby". After deciding to come visit Grandma and Grandpa earlier than planned we hopped back on a plane to NJ on May 3rd. This past weekend we headed down to North Carolina where he met his extended family and Great Grandma and Grandpa Neely. He loved playing and staying with his cousin Liam who is 7 month now. Ryan then got to meet the Clutsam side of the family on Wednesday May 13th during a family BBQ. He even got to meet his cousin Nicky who flew in from Japan. He is my little traveler and loves looking at all the new faces!

Ryan's new milestone includes his hands which he now loves to put in his mouth every chance he gets. I really am hoping to stick with the pacifier if needed rather then the thumb sucking..lets just hope he sticks with the fist in the mouth and not individual fingers. Ryan is also sleeping through the night! I am very happy about this, his new hours are from 8pm until 6:30am.

Grandma has also bought him a bumbo seat and he really enjoying sitting up in it and looking around at us. He is also in love with the ceiling fans, but what baby isn't?

Ryan goes back for his 4 month check up and shots :-( on the 25th. I am very curious to see how much he weighs. I am guessing around 13 pounds.
