Week 17 with Cody

This week was a challenging one. Cody has been pretty fussy lately, and not sleeping quite as well. The days have a tendency to drag on, because he’s only content with one activity for about 10 minutes before he starts fussing, and there are only so many activities to do with an almost 4 month old baby! By activities, I mean things like laying on his playmat, reading books, laying on the bed while I fold laundry, sitting in his highchair, playing in his jump-a-roo, etc.

Still, he’s sleeping for about 10-12 hours total at night, with several feedings. He now takes two to three naps during the day, which can be as short as 30 minutes or occasionally, up to an hour or more. He nurses about every 2-4 hours during the day.

This week, he’s been laughing even more and with more exuberance. I love the sound of his laugh! He’s getting better at and more interested in holding objects and bringing them to his mouth. He loves grabbing hair, skin, clothes, and faces. He also loves to watch the dogs and our cat, but especially Sky—he’ll often just stare at her and giggle, and he tries to touch her when she gets close. He likes it when she licks his face, too.

Cody’s very good at rolling over now, from his back to his belly and vice versa. He kicks his legs a lot but hasn’t yet show any signs of being close to crawling. He likes it when we support him so he can stand up, and he likes being held facing out most of the time. Cory wears him in the Ergobaby carrier facing out for hours each evening, and that’s often the way he falls asleep for the night.

This morning we finished the first children’s Bible that we’ve been reading since he was born, called The Jesus Storybook Bible. Now we’re moving on to The Beginner’s Bible, a classic favorite. So that’s exciting!

That’s pretty much it for this week!

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment. 🙂
