have been kind of rough. Dave has been in California and Grayson and I both miss him a ton!! How do I know our 4 month old son misses his Daddy? Because he sleeps TERRIBLE when Dave is not home. Both Mondays I have dropped Dave off at the airport Grayson woke up on average every 1-2 hours on Monday night. His naps have severely dropped off and every other night during the week he wakes up at least 4 times. But last weekend when Dave was home... he slept great! Woke up just once in the middle of the night and once in the morning. Took a nice 2.5 hour nap and was a generally happy kid.
To add to the difficulty sleeping we've been having with Dave gone, we went to Grayson's 4 month well child check up and the Dr recommended we stop swaddling him. He does not appear to be a fan of this... and reminded me last night by screaming his head off from 11:30 till 12:30 at which point I gave in and swaddled him so I could finally get some sleep.
But even though he hasn't been sleeping he has been growing! He now weighs 14lbs 2oz and is 25" long!!! He's in the 31% for weight, 51% for height, and his head circumference is in the 80th percentile... such a big brain already! :)
Grayson is getting so strong and is able to hold his head quite steady now and is much happier sitting or standing or being carried around then he is laying on the floor. BUT he is getting a little more ok with being on his tummy! And today and pushed himself forward with his feet while laying on his tummy... granted he trapped an arm under himself and got quite angry about it... but baby steps here... he's getting there!!
On Sunday we leave for a two week trip in California! We are going to stay with Dave in the hotel for a week and go stay with Aunty Laura and Uncle Kyle for a week too!! I am very excited but also super nervous!!! I hope he does well on the flight and also manages to sleep ok in a hotel room and with me at Aunty's... Cross your fingers!!!
