Braeden is 4 months...

It can not be 4 months ago already that he was born! He is getting older whether we want him to or not :( I really wish I could bottle him up and keep him at this age ( I know I will look back at this and will have changed my mind at some point). He has changed so much this last month and wants to be out where the action is. He still prefers to look and chat at us but is enjoying toys more and more. B started about 3 weeks ago getting his hands to his mouth occasionally and usually just one hand would make it in, then it was both hands in his mouth and now it is either hand or just fingers ALWAYS in his mouth. He is also grabbing at toys with more success and "talking" so much. We can also get him to laugh which just makes us melt. We have seen him roll over a couple times but I think it was mostly by accident.

We had his 4 month check up a little early and he was 14 lbs and 25 inches long. His weight dropped from 75% down to 40% and I talked with the doctor about my milk supply and she gave me some suggestions. I am really enjoying nursing Braeden and don't want to stop but have not been producing enough milk. I had a lactation consultant come out to the house and she was such a great help. I found out I am not producing even close to what Braeden needs so we have been giving him a lot more formula the last couple days. His tummy must be pretty small though bc he is spitting up a lot more so we are adjusting. I am taking supplements and pumping as well to try to get my supply back up. Braeden has always been pretty content but we can tell he is even more content now, especially in the car. The nurse will be back in a week or so which will be great to check in with her again. So far, everything is going pretty well but it is alot of work to nurse, give him more formula, and pump (and entertain TJ). I feel like we have lost our schedule but most importantly he is getting enough to eat. We will wait to start cereal :)

Braeden we LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!! some recent pictures..
