I know I keep saying this, but seriously, how is it possible that Conway is already four months old! Four months is a fun age, but I actually kind of miss my tiny little newborn. He's just getting so big way too fast.
Conway is still very smiley and giggly and he's starting to babble and coo a lot more. He's also constantly moving his arms, kicking his legs, and sucking/chewing on his hands. I'm sure this is why I can't seem to keep him swaddled...even with the Miracle Blanket, which is basically a baby straight jacket. I know. I know. Why don't we just quit swaddling him. And the answer is that we probably should. When he gets out of the swaddle, though, he wakes himself up. And he's sleeping so well that I don't want to mess with it.
Speaking of sleep, Conway is almost sleeping through the night. They say that "sleeping though the night" is sleeping a 6 hour stretch, but I think that's a crazy definition because that would still require me to get up during the night. Conway goes to bed at 8:00pm and after his 10:30pm dream feed, he's been sleeping until 5:00am or 6:00am. Then after eating he goes right back to sleep until 8:00am. What's tricky is when he has slept right through until 7:15am or so because he's not going back to sleep at that point and it kind of throws off his three pretty regular naps during the day. I'm not going to complain about him sleeping until 7:15am, though. Conway basically takes after his mama and loves his sleep.
Conway isn't just wiggly at night. We hear "Conway's kicking!" a lot in our house because Parker loves to call it out and Conway kicks a lot. While he hasn't rolled over yet, he has started rolling onto his side. He has also started grabbing at the toys that hang from his little play gym. He bats at them and then eventually they end up in his mouth. He wants everything in his mouth and he's started drooling quite a bit. I don't think he's teething yet, but there sure is a lot of chewing and drooling going on.
All in all, four months is pretty darn good and this kid is pretty darn cute. Am I right?!
