Today Max turned 4 months old. I can’t believe how quick time is going. It seems like only yesterday that we were strapping him into his car seat and bringing him home from hospital.
He’s learning so many new skills as the days go by, and growing so quickly that I thought it would be good to document each thing month by month so we can look back. Life can be so busy that you often forget to drink in those little moments and cherish every one of them.
So here’s Max’s 4 month update:
- Sleep regression. Max used to sleep 7pm-7am but for the last week has decided to wake up 3 or 4 times in the night, it’s like having a newborn again. We’re hoping this passes VERY quickly
- Max has learnt to suck his thumb. I must admit I didn’t want a thumb sucker as a baby but he does look super cute when he’s doing it
- Max has started teething. He’s been very grouchy recently and after taking him to see an osteopath she’s confirmed that his teeth are on the move. His gums are red and you can see little white patches where the teeth are trying to poke through
- Daytime napping is a thing of the past. We’re lucky if he has a 20 minute cat nap all day. Unfortunately this means we’re not getting much done at home as we’re having to deal with an over tired baby
- Max now follows everything with his eyes and if he hears your voice his little head moves around to find you
- Not quite able to roll onto his tummy yet, Max has now learnt how to roll onto his side
- And lastly – but definitely my favourite thing Max has learnt this month is how to laugh. It’s the cutest sound I’ve ever heard and actually melts my heart
We can’t wait to see what the next month has in store – we’re hoping it will involve a lot more sleeping though!
I wish you all the luck with the sleep regression. Erin had the 6 months one and hasn’t recovered from it yet at 9 months old
Aww he is adorable! I love his little outfit. So cute. xx
Awww he’s so adorable, I do not have any kids yet but hope to have some one day.
Wow time has gone super quickly. I hope for your sake it passes quick and he doesn’t wake up too often in the night x
What a cutie! Such a lovely outfit.
I love these kind of update posts, I wish I had of kept some sort of diary when Archie was a baby, I wasn’t blogging then so didn’t think to keep a monthly journal. I hope the sleep regression passes quickly, Archie has Autism so even though he’s four this month he’s still a terrible sleeper, waking about 7/8 times a night xx
Wow, hats off to you hun, that must be so tiring x
Aww happy 4 month birthday little max! Love your picture for this month!
Oh he is so adorable. Enjoy every single moment! Time has a way of whizzing by us mums. I sometimes wish it would slow down just a little bit π
Max is a cutie. So adorable. They grow so quickly.
What a super cutie! It’s only after we had kids did I notice how time just flies by – days, months, years, blink and they are walking , talking and heading off to school!
Aw he’s absolutely beautiful!! I hope he gets into a good nap time routine for you soon! I remember that stage well!! π
Gosh it all goes by so quickly. He is absolutely beautiful. I hope sleep settles for him soon, sleep regression is so frustrating, just when you think it is all figured out… xxx
Fingers crossed the sleep regression doesn’t last long
Max is so adorable! I think it is super cute when they suck their thumbs x
Look at the pose he is making! It’s really adorable! Oh and very nice outfit, too. I have longed for some post like this! It’s really interesting when reading a post like a diary of a mother about her child. It’s a good way to keep many pictures and memories and you can show him when he’s grown up. I’m sure he will love it and understand how deep your love for him is! Please, keep up!
How cute he is! I can imagine how much love you spend for him as you observe every change carefully. Once again, little Max is really adorable. I would be grateful if you update more photos of him π
Awww, he’s so cute. I can’t stand his cuteness. My baby woke and cried about 3 times at night in about 4 months. It is kind of stress for me. Anyway, I heard it is just a normal case of babies. So, don’t worry. Congrats on the 4th-month birthday of your little cute son! This kind of updates is really interesting. We’ll feel time flies real quick whenever we read it the updates again.
[…] at the start of this month Max rolled over for the first time. He’d been showing no signs of doing it at all, in fact he […]
