Best buds
Geppetto can be so annoying some times, but I just love watching the love grow between these two. Leiland had just woke from his nap (see the lines on his face) and was happy to cuddle his buddy.
So proud
Today when Leiland napped I made a point to get him in his crib. Well when he was waking up I turned on the video to see if he was going to go back to sleep.
To my surprise I got to watch him roll over on his own. I'm so proud. He then played a little before I have to go get him. My little man is growing up. We will see if he does this more often.
4 months and 10 days and he FINALLY rolled over all on his own.

4 month shots
Are really bothering Leiland. He did ok getting the shots but struggled to go to bed last night, then he woke many times. I think he woke something like 6 times last night. Poor thing was just miserable. I gave him Tylenol before his shots, before bed, at 4:30 this morning, then again at 9:30 this morning. He hasn't felt warm since then and seemed like he was starting to feel better, but then he puked all over my kitchen floor. He fell asleep nursing and I took him off the boob to burp and he started screaming at me. He has done that a few times today. So then he was awake so I gave the reflux meds and we rocked some. He was still cranky so I figure some more Tylenol wouldn't hurt. I gave the first 1/2 and he did ok, but the second little bit he refused then puked everywhere. It came in 3 parts and just keeps coming out. My poor guy hated it, but seems ok now. I'm going to bring him to my bed again tonight and hope he sleeps ok. Its 8pm and he still isn't sleeping.
4 Month Update
This won't be as lengthy as usual, but I'll try to remember everything.
This month I have noticed a huge change in Leiland and his thought process. This is what he is doing these days.
- Reaches for toes
- Can balance pretty good when sitting from left to right, but hasn't mastered the front to back yet
- Fake coughs
- When reaching for something that is too far, he has learned to bend over to get closer
- Loves playing in the high chair
- Can sit really well in restaurant high chairs
- Grabs hair, noses, lips, eyes, and anything else he can reach
- Mastering sucking the thumb
- Babbling more but talking less (if that makes sense)
- Blowing bubbles and gurgling to make bubbles
Leiland loves people, that is SO evident with him. It can be a stranger, man, woman, young, old, child - he loves everyone. He will talk to strangers more than he will talk to me, and he will let anyone hold him. I am aware we are approaching the stage of being afraid of strangers, but he is showing NO signs of this at this point. He also shows no interest to roll over. Even though he sleeps on his belly he refuses to lift up on his arms. He will do it if I put his arms beneath him but never on his own.
Nursing is going mostly well, he seems to prefer my left side and on occasion will refuse my right side. He still nurses to sleep for most nights and many of his naps. We are struggling to get good naps out of him still as well.
