4 month check up and CF Walk

Finn had his 4 month check up this morning. Here are the stats from last time and from this time:


2 MONTH
Height: 22 3/4 inches (50%)
Weight: 12 lbs 3 oz (50-75%)
Head: 38 3/4 cm (25%)


4 MONTH
Height: 25 inches (50%)
Weight: 14 lbs 4 oz (25%)
Head: 41 cm (25%)


He is about 1/2 lb and 1 inch smaller than Jack was at this point. That is probably because Finn spits up everything he eats. HA. All checked out well at the appointment. Finn was happy as a clam. I discussed our sleeping issues and didn't really get any great feedback. Just need to let him work it out and if that means moving him downstairs at night so he doesn't wake up Jack, maybe we will do that. I mentioned his spitting up issues and she gave me a prescription for acid reflux, but she said it probably won't do much since he doesn't seem bothered by spitting up. Oh well, it's worth a shot. I started Finn on rice cereal last week because I just needed to try something else to help him sleep more, and he was days away from being 4 months. He LOVES it, and he ate it so well. Way better than Jack did at his age. I'm going to slowly start baby food too. Most doctors say to wait until the baby is 6 months to start baby food, but we started Jack at 4 months and I remember his pediatrician saying it was fine and if he was eating and swallowing the cereal fine, go ahead. I'm ready to try anything to help us all get on a set schedule of some sort. (Look at how blond Finn's hair is getting. I think he's starting to look more like Jack).

Tom is going out of town this week from Tuesday - Friday, so this would be an excellent time for Finn to start sleeping through the night. I've been getting up with him every 45 minutes from 11:30 to about 3 AM, just giving him his nuk and laying him back on his back (he is rolling over like a maniac now). It's not that I care if Finn rolls over and sleeps on his tummy, but when he gets on his tummy, it's like he doesn't know what to do and screams bloody murder until we roll him back over. ha. His favorite sleeping position is definitely his side. Anyway, then Tom will feed him at 3 and he's been sleeping until his big brother wakes him up at 7. But I will say Finn is now a pretty happy baby, he just needs some help with his sleeping issues. So we are slowly getting there. 

Thank you SOOOO much to everyone who donated for the CF walk. I was able to raise $175 and I think our team raised about $1600. Don't worry, if you didn't get a chance to help out our team this year - I'll be raising money again next year.  It was a nice day, although EXTREMELY windy!!! Jack and Finn were great and we loved using our double stroller.
