almost 4 months

Everett is back to loving his paci. We will see how long it lasts. He is not as obsessed with his hands so maybe that's why the paci is back in the picture. I have to admit I'm happy the hand obsession or should I say the thumb sucking is starting taper off. His cute little thumb in his mouth is very adorable but not something I want to become a habit. He's starting to really use his hands for what they are meant for. Playing and grabbing things.

Sleep all the sudden has taken a huge turn for the worse though. He sleeps till 1 and then is up every 2 hours after that. Not even to eat. I hear him in there playing and he is totally out of the swaddle. When I go in there I can see him trying to go back to sleep but he needs my help for that. I know when he is trying to put himself to sleep bc he throws his head back and forth looking for his source of something to suck. He wants his paci and to be swaddled back up. So I do and out he is again. What I don't understand is why he is waking every 2 hours or so to begin with. Either way it's time to get rid of the swaddle. He has become dependent on that to go to sleep and that's not good. So sometime soon when I can muster up a night to suffer through we will throw out the swaddle blanket. This is how I found him this morning though. Out of the blanket. Maybe he falls asleep that way but moves and works his way out and that eventually wakes him up. He still had his paci in his mouth from when I gave it to him at 7. This pic was taken at 8:30. Pretty funny he still had it. Notice the paci is purple. It's Camille's old one. It stays in his bed and is only used there.

He is still just the sweetest cutest baby ever. Does not cause any problems. He naps when he wants to where he wants to and the sleep at night does not matter on the day time sleep. He's just easy. Way easier than the other 2 are now or were then.

He is a very sensitive little boy. He scares easily. Noises scare him or make him jump. He gets that really sad look on his face when his sisters are sad.

I know I say this ALL the time but I can't believe he is already 4 months. He is my baby and he is growing way too fast. I HATE it. The other night John was playing bball and the girls were in bed and Everett and I did kangaroo care for the first time in a long long time. It was so sweet and I just cherished every minute of it. I held him so tight and told him how much I loved him. We both enjoyed it so much!!!
