Here's what Tanner is like at 4 months....
He's 27 inches long and weighs exactly 16 pounds. He's a big eater. He eat 3 meals a day (one to two jars of baby food). He nurses ever 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night. He drinks one or two 6 oz bottles of formula. The dr. says we need to fatten him up a bit so we may add some olive oil to his food and try and squeeze in a little more formula.
Tanner is a great little sleeper. Takes 3 naps a day. Two long ones for 2+ hours and one shorter one for about 1.5 hours. He goes to bed around 7 and gets up 2x a night to eat then he's up at 7 to start his day. He sleeps on his stomach or his side.
He LOVES tummy time. He rolls over like crazy now. He'll never lie on his back for more then a few seconds. He prefers his stomach and is even starting to inch forward a little. He also loves to sit up. If he's in his bouncy seat, car seat or swing he'll try and lean forward so he can sit up straight.
He still is not sucking his thumb but he constantly has his fingers or thumb in his mouth. He's a major drooler. He'll soak a shirt in a few minutes. Between the drool and the messy eating he goes through quite a few outfits in one day. Just what mommy needs--more laundry.
Tanner is incredibly social. He'll stare at you when you enter a room, wait for you to make eye contact with him and then give you a great big grin. He's such a happy baby, always smiling and giggling. What a joy this little guy is. We're so thankful God has given us such a precious little son. We love you TANNER!!!!

Where have the last four months gone? Tanner is just adorable! He's a big baby--he's a couple of pounds heaver than Rayna and she's pretty big herself!
I can't get over his eyelashes! Cutie!
Too cute! A suggestion for you with regard to the drooling - how about terry cloth bibs? It's easier to change those a few times a day than to change a bunch of outfits.
He's adorable! Glad he sounds pretty easy too.
