My big boy is 4 months old already! (well almost 5 by the time I posted this)
Shawn and I were looking at a picture of him at 2 weeks old and it totally weirded us out! I can't see any resemblance to the baby he is today. He looks so incredibly different now! From the moment he was born he's been growing at an exponential rate. Every time he's been placed on a scale, my jaw has dropped and I've thought the number was wrong. My latest guess was off by over 2lbs!
Henry weighs 19lbs 11oz...... NINETEEN POUNDS ELEVEN OUNCES.... at 4 months old!
He is so big!
Mae weighed 18lbs 8oz at 1 year old! He's only 2 1/2 inches shorter than she was at a year. He is 26 1/2 in tall.
Off the charts in weight
90th percentile in height
80th percentile in head circumference
I was really worried when I saw his weight but the doctor looked at his growth curve and just said he is a big baby. I hear the comment weekly calling Henry a "linebacker". He is very broad.
He currently wears only 12 month clothes.
He has not been a great sleeper. I'm a firm believer that babies will sleep how they sleep. I don't think that if a baby sleeps 12 hours straight at 6 weeks old that the parent necessarily did anything but they got blesses by Jesus and should thank him accordingly! haha
We started sleep training but that should be in the 5 month update since I started just this week.
The whole of month 4 he was waking every 1-4 hours at night and taking 30 min naps most days. Things have been improving this week. In a couple weeks I hope to say he's sleeping through the night, Lord willing! : )
Henry is still the happiest baby ever. He laughs all the time and smiles every single time you talk to him. He is in his jumper most of the day. He love to bounce and that is what he is currently doing. He jumps as high as it will let him go! He really is the easiest baby as far as temperament. It has enabled me to do a lot of things that I would have been more hesitant to do with Mae. I've taken them to the zoo, silver dollar city, our water park and many playdates. He's never had a meltdown and never cries in the car. We are so blessed with our happy, handsome, chunky, boy!
His hair started brown and then turned red and now most of it has fallen out and it's coming in blonde.
Now for some pictures
