Dylan-4 and 5 months

 

Nicknames: Dyl Dyl, Dyl Man, Big Man, Man Man, Dylanator, Baby Boy, Chillin' Dylan, Pickle, Pick, Pickle Juice, Pickle Meister, etc

Weight: 13lbs 3oz at 4 months.  Not sure how much he weighs at 5 months, but I know it has definitely increased.  I’m guessing at least 14lbs

Height: 25.3in at 4 months

Diaper Size: Officially in size 2 diapers at 4 ½ months

Clothing: 3-6 month clothes or 6 months

Feedings: 5oz to 7oz every 3 hours

Milestones: Dylan can officially hold his head all by himself (4 months), can turn from his stomach to back and back to stomach, smiles all the time, drools all over the place to the point where I thought he was cutting a tooth but a tooth hasn't shown up yet, can almost put his paci in his mouth by himself, and is trying to sit up more by himself.  Dylan has also been sleeping in his own bed most nights all night long.  He may wake up once for a little milk night cap or for me to pop his paci back in, but otherwise stays sleep all night.  Dylan also takes rice cereal daily since he turned 5 months.  I don’t think it agreed with his tummy at first, but he is loving it now.  His hair is also getting thicker.  I just love his fluffy hair.

Likes: Warm milk, lying on his stomach to nap, playing on his activity mat, his swing, being picked up and held, for you to lie on a pillow with him and stare at him in the face until he falls asleep, and for Kendall to sing to him.  He just laughs out loud when she sings or when she is laughing.  I can tell that he really loves his sister.  Oh yeah, he also likes for me to rub the top of his head with the tip of my fingers.  I do that when we are watching tv together.

Dislikes: Wet or dirty diapers on him, not being able to see someone, being alone, and being put in his car seat without his paci.
