Last week our little sweet Jimmy Jam turned 4 months!
His 4 month check up was today, and he did great & is perfectly healthy!
Height/Weight: Our strong boy is weighing in at 14 lbs and is 25.5 inch long with a 41 CM head :)

Routine: We have a great "flexible" routine that is taking a hit in the next few weeks, because we won't have to wake up to take Jenna to school.
We will see how it goes, but I think James won't mind to much seeing he is less than a fan of his car seat!

Sleeping: He is a great sleeper! He has occasional nights that he wakes up, but mostly sleeping from about 10pm - 5am then again till we wake him up in the am.
We took a Jenni June (check out her site if you have a small one! She has great tips!!) sleep class while I was still pregnant, and decided to follow her recommendations on teaching James to sleep. He takes 2 naps a day, is put to bed before showing "signs of being sleepy", and is not played with in the middle of the night if he wakes up hungry (I feed him of course, but don't want to teach him to play at night). He is sleeping in his own bed now.
I feed him in my bed then daddy or I move him once he is asleep.

Eating/Feeding: He consistently eats every 3 hours unless he is sleeping now. He prefers a bottle when he is wide awake, but if he is sleepy he wants his mom!
He learned to hold his own bottle :) He only gets to do it when someone is next to him still, but I am excited for getting things done while he eats :)
Sizes: He is already in 6 month (and some 9 month) clothing, and up to size 2 in diapers!
Milestones: This last month has been one amazing learning moment to another! He had officially gone from an infant to an observant little human ;)
It's so much more fun seeing him change from month to month! My favorite is watching how he interacts with everyone around him! He will babble on to everyone he meets :)
He learned the fun of showers :)
His favorite part is staying naked after, and playing with his wet hands and feet!

How to take selfie, and the awesomeness of the I-phone ;)
I don't remember when Jenna started teething, but I think James may soon. He drools lots, and likes to chew on anything he can manage to get in his mouth whether it is his toys, my hand, or his piggy toes ;) And he can get anything he picks up into his mouth!
He loves to sit up, and if you lay him back he will do little crunches until he gets up :)
He also learned to roll over though often gets stuck on his arm lol
He is such a joyful baby,
and we are all so excited for his 1st Christmas!
