4 Months Old!

Peanut is 4 months old today! We've been doing better on the screaming (well, not so much tonight but vaccination day will do that to you) but alas, it appears that either the probiotics or 4 month sleep regression has hit us. He's waking up like a newborn. We figured if he was going to do that, we'd just restart crib training. So he's sleeping in his crib. Or "sleeping."

So we started this morning with Peanut having gone to bed super swaddled. This means with his arms pinned to his sides with one blanket, and then swaddled over that. We woke up with a new scratch on his cheek and him trying to smother himself with the swaddle. The night before we tried sock hand. One arm swaddled and the other one with a sock over his hand. We woke up with blood on the sock and his eczema spot itched to high heaven. We've now changed our treatment of his eczema to cortizone first and aquafor over it. So far he seems to be less itchy, here's hoping. His nails are shaved back as far as we can get them. He's going to bed unswaddled from here on out. He's woken up 4 times so far :/ Hopefully he gets used to this soon.

So then we got our pictures in, and went to the doctor. Peanut weighs 14 lbs and 15 oz, and comes in at 24.75 inches. He was on the low end of all the stats at birth, and each check in he's getting higher and higher in the percentages. Our little piggy :) We were there a lot longer then I imagined, but there was a lot to talk about, what with his colic, food intollerances, scratching... She's never heard of excess farting with probiotics, so I'm not sure what to go with there now. We put a blanket under his legs tonight, so he's in prime farting form. Hopefully he can expel the gas in his sleep easier this way.

Here's hoping we have happy baby back tomorrow! And we have a date tomorrow night <3
