4 months already!!

Our sweet baby is 4 months old already! I can't believe it!! Kelson is getting so big and so much fun. He weighs almost 18 pounds now and is 26 inches. His colic is nearly gone too (which is a huge relief!) These last 4 months have been pretty rough with this boy. We finally figured out that if we feed him, change his diaper, wrap him up super tight in his Velcro blanket, bounce him while sitting on the exercise ball and say "shhhhhhhh" as loud as possible, that it makes a great difference. Also the sound of the humidifier or any song from the Walk The Line soundtrack would do. My blog has become my sanctuary when I need a moment to escape, which explains my overflow of posts in the last few months. But happily, he's doing much better. Especially now that he can sit in a high chair or the exersaucer and keep himself entertained for awhile. I'm so glad I have a baby boy. I never knew how much fun a little man would be. I love this guy!!!

  1. He's such a cutie! He looks just like Brynlie, but with no hair. Sorry the last few months have been hard, I'm glad they are getting better though!

  2. Julie and Jeremy, how did two normal people get children that are so not normal. Meaning their size. I love it, I laugh anytime I think about it. You would never know that he had colic by your postings. Sorry it has been so rough. Are you coming to Utah durring the holidays?

  3. Julie,
    Did you get the Shooshing thing from the Happiest Toddler on the Block book? I am also dealing with a colicky baby right now, and it makes me sad because I feel like I am not able to enjoy this time like I want to and should... this too shall pass I am sure.

  4. Gosh, I am sorry that he's had colic! But at least he's well-fed. He weighs more than my 9 month old.
