Kade - 4 Months Old

Little Kade is 4 MONTHS old already! How's it always go so fast! 

At four months, Kade is 22.4 inches long and weighs 11 pounds and 10 ounces. He usually wakes up 1-2 times a night but has had some issues with the dry air and the heater and wakes up more often some nights because he is having trouble breathing and needs some saline drops. He is now sleeping in the bassinet attachment in a pack n' play in our room. He can stay up for 1-2 hours and then sleeps anywhere from 1-3 hours for a nap. He is still in size 1 diapers and 0-3 month and 3 month clothes.

This little guy is seriously the sweetest and a little dream baby. We are constantly shocked by how happy, content, and go with the flow he is overall. His new favorite thing is talking. He has definitely found his voice and loves to coo and talk to himself or anyone that is around him. He still is SUPER generous with smiles and we have had people ask us how we get anything done with him always smiling at us. He still really likes his play gym but recently just rolls over onto his tummy and gets himself in a pickle in it. He likes the sit me up alot still since it allows him to see. He has really grown to enjoy chewing on Sophie when he is in his car seat. He still loves his o-ball and has a little plush phone with teething material handles that he loves to chew on and grab. Baths are still a good thing in Kade's mind as well as getting his pajamas on at night. And he LOVES sucking his thumb to soothe himself and then just as entertainment as well.

Kade doesn't enjoy when we have to use the saline drops or Nosa Frida to help with his dry nose. He also doesn't like his fingernails clipped very much. He has grown so fond of his bed for sleep that he isn't a fan of sleeping in the Ergo carrier as much. He fusses for a while before finally falling asleep. Besides that he is a happy little guy unless he is getting too tired. 

This month Kade got better at things he has already learned to do. He doesn't just occasionally coo but has full on coo conversations with himself or anyone who is near by. Sometimes it is so loud we can't hear who we are talking to. He has mastered rolling to his tummy from his back and likes to do it often. And Kade has also gotten better at grasping toys and blankets to put in his mouth or play with. 

Kade did have some more firsts this month. He went to his first sporting event when we went with Ember's school to a special NAU men's basketball game. Kade took his first walk in the stoller without being in a carseat in the stroller. He also wore his first crib shoes which were adorable. He went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the first time and had  his first Thanksgiving. Kade went to his first movie in the theater - we saw "Elf" for free for a holiday community event. He fell asleep during it. Kade also went in the Ergo without the infant insert for the first time and went to his first parade - Flagstaff Downtown Light Parade. 

We are all loving life with Kade. Reece always runs up and hugs him after I get him up from a nap, Ember is found near him often talking to him or singing to him, and they both fight over who he gets to sit by at dinner in the Sit Me Up. God knew what he was doing when he added Kade to our family and we couldn't be more thankful!
