Four Months Old

Likes: The high chair!  Cameron joins us at the table for meals like a big boy.  We used to slide him up in the rock and play, but we noticed he didn't love laying on his back anymore.  Next month he gets to eat some rice cereal. 
Cameron has mastered the jumping part of the jump-a-roo.  He loves the bright colored animals and is content to watch them for a while. 
Sometimes after dinner we have a dance party with Lexie's school music.  Cameron loves the hopping part of the hop-hop-hippty-hop song.  
Now I will state the obvious: he likes to nurse.

Dislikes: Loud noises.  He is scared of Will's bark and Lexie's scream.  Also, he doesn't like sudden movements.  We're working on it.

Sleeping: Cameron is a very good sleeper, still.  He is swaddled with one arm out.  Occasionally, I will leave both out, but he sleeps better with one in and one out.
 He sleeps at night from 8pm-7:30am.  I still wake him at 10:30pm to squeeze another feeding in. He takes two good naps a day.  The third nap is a fight.  The first and best nap is from 8:45/9:15-11am, unless it is Sunday.  The next nap is from 1-2:30 or 3ish.  The last nap from 4-5.
I no longer have the option of putting him in the swing because he weighs too much. He does not sleep on the go, which is a challenge because we are stuck at home.  You all know I HATE that.  I'm in the process of figuring out what I should do.

Eating:  He nurses six times a day. These are usually the times: 7:30/7:45am, 11:00am, 2:30/3pm, 6pm, 8pm, and 10:30pm.  In a couple months I plan to drop the 10:30 feeding.  I'm too scared to do it right now because I worry he won't sleep through the night. He is gaining well.  Last week he weighed in at 18lbs 10 ozs. 

Playing: During one awake time a day (usually the early morning) I rotate Cameron through the baby things we have.  He usually starts with the jump-a-roo because I know he has his best energy right after waking.  Then we move on to the play mat, where he plays with the animals above him.  After that I set him in the Bumbo to sing songs and/or read books.   The other awake times are spent in the car, dropping off/picking up Alexis, going on walks to the park, grocery shopping, etc...

Signing- We are working on mommy, milk, all done, up, and more.  I've been singing lots of songs with hand motions, thinking that it will help him learn to watch the hands.
