4 months

With our hospital visit behind us we are starting to get back into our routine. Milo still isn't sleeping all the way through the night. He wakes up 2 or 3 times a night between 7:30pm until 7:00am. He only needs his pacifier to get back to sleep, so he is still doing really well. Last night he did great and slept from 7:45 until 5:30am and then down for another hour. I am very excited for the night that he sleeps all the way through without any help from mom. I know that it will happen soon. In the meantime I am just trying to enjoy our cuddle times in the middle of the night.
Milo is 19 weeks old today and had his four month check up on Friday. He weighed in at a whopping 20lbs 4oz. He is off the charts for weight and in the 75 percentile for length and head size. I was a bit worried that I might be over feeding Milo, but his pediatrician assured me that you can't overfeed a baby when he is only on breast milk. He should start to slow down soon. Hopefully he will. We are on the biggest size of his diapers and they need to last through potty training. Plus, I don't know how long I can carry this little whopper!!!! I guess I will continue to work on my arm muscles. There is no better exercise routine than carrying around my little tike. The peditrician had some bad news. It turns out that Milo has two ear infections. He hasn't shown any signs of discomfort. I am so glad we had a check up so that we can start getting his little ears better. Apparently amoxicilin does the trick for 95% of kids and Milo is one of the lucky few who have to have a stronger antibiotic. I hope he starts to feel better soon. Maybe now he will start sleeping better ;)
Today Scott brought home a new high chair. It is great!! I knew that I wanted a wooden high chair with a tray and this is what we found. Milo loves sitting up at eye level and banging his toys on the tray.
Everything is going great and Milo continues to discover new things every day. I love thinking of how exciting life must be for him....I know I wake up excited every day to see what he has in store for me.

Does this look like a boy with 2 ear infections?


Swinging!!!!
