4 months

Harrison turned 4 months old April 21. Wow! Time has flown by! I still feel like we just brought him home from the hospital. I keep being told that time will keep going by this fast, which makes me sad. Brian and I are enjoying every minute we have with this sweet angel.

4 month stats:

Weight: 14lbs 7 ounces (50th percentile)

Length: 26 inches (90th percentile)

Head circumference: 16 3/4 inches (50th percentile)

Sleep: not super consistent yet, every time we get a good routine going something happens - growth spurt, ear infection, traveling, etc - that sets us back. I am not complaining though because he sleeps 6 hours or more at night. We just don't have a set bed time yet, which is mostly our fault.

Intake: 4 5oz bottles at daycare that contain milk, apple prune juice & dark karo syrup, nursing 3-4 times a day, just starting rice cereal

Harrison is still having tummy issues, hence the juice & karo mixed in his bottles. If he doesn't get regulated within the next 2 weeks, we are starting miralax.

a little tummy time - still not rolling from stomach to back

we are rolling from back to stomach though - I know, he is backwards!

we are mastering the spoon!

Harrison is splitting his time between sucking on his hands & his bottom lip that he discovered this past week. He also learned how to squeal this weekend. That is the sound Brian and I have been woken up by all weekend - ha!

Wedding!!

We have been on the road the past 2 weekends, first for the bachelorette & bachelor parties. This was our first night, which only consisted of about 12 hours, away from Harrison. I called my parents obsessively to check on him ;) They all did fine...it was mostly me that was freaking out!

The bachelorette party was in Como at the Courtyard, a cute bed & breakfast. The girls just hung out, ate, talked, played a few games & spent some time in the hot tub. We also gave Corrie a lingerie shower so she got to open a few gifts!

The boys went to play golf in Tunica, then stayed at the casinos for the night. No pictures from their adventure!

The next weekend was the big event! Brian, Harrison & I traveled to Batesville after work on Thursday. Friday was busy with the bridal brunch, rehearsal & rehearsal dinner. We had so much fun visiting with everybody and celebrating Corrie & Kenneth's wedding!

 

Saturday morning we went to Como to help set up the reception, but trying to get somewhere with a 3 1/2 month old baby does not always go as planned. We arrived as they were just about finished setting up! Then we went to get ready for the wedding. Pictures started early afternoon so I had to leave Harrison with Brian for a few hours before the babysitter took over for the night - by night I mean about 4 hours before my parents went to get him. Mama & Daddy were so wonderful helping us with him this weekend when we had lots of stuff going on. Mama was a trooper because she was still in a boot with staples in her heel from surgery, Daddy was a super trooper because he was having to take care of Harrison & Mama - Ha!!

Harrison showed up for a quick family picture & a picture with Aunt Corrie

Sadly I don't have any pictures from the reception (I forgot to take my camera in!) We had such a wonderful time getting Corrie & Kenneth married - Finally!! Everything was perfect! We pray they have many, many years of happiness as husband & wife. We love you guys!
