Milestones update: 4 Months Old
YES!!! As
time goes by so quickly, and so is my son. He is getting bigger and stronger
and even independent every single day we have. Sad to know that things nowadays
are way faster than before, yet I'm still very lucky and happy that my son is
growing into a beautiful boy. As this milestone is another challenge for him to
learn about how to live and what's it like on earth, it is not yet the time for
him to leave his Mama.
Anyways, let
me just cut off the drama. I'm just being emotional, since I would like babies
to stay babies forever, hence it doesn't work that way. Oh well!!! I better move
on and make more memories with my sons.
- He is able
to sit with support, more aware of the environment around him. He loves to be
up all the time now since he wants to see more things and be part of it.
- He naps
2-3 times a day now and shorter this time. More awake in the morning and sleep
through the night. I'm very lucky that he is not such a pain in a butt baby at
all.
- Very
content of what he is, he isn't the kind of baby who cries a lot, he is
satisfied to be down and doesn't ask to be carried all the time.
- Tried
feeding him cereal this month, however, it seems way too early for him as he
hasn't quite understanding what is that new flavor he is taking.
Let's talk about 4 months, What
can they do and what are the changes in their life:
Your 4-month-old is growing more
and more alert by the day. Babies at this age love to express themselves
through smiles, laughs, gurgles, and coos. By month four, your baby’s weight
will likely have doubled from birth.
Your baby is becoming more
dexterous and doing more with her hands. Her hands now work together to move a
toy or shake a rattle. In fact, those hands will grab for just about anything
within reach, including a stuffed animal, your hair, and any colorful or shiny
object hanging nearby.
By your baby’s fourth month, you
both should be enjoying a full night’s sleep. At this age babies typically can
sleep seven to eight hours in a row. Add in two naps, and baby should be
sleeping a total of 14 to 16 hours a day.
During the first three months, babies
have a lot of trouble distinguishing color contrasts, which was why your
newborn preferred bright colors and black-and-white objects. Now at four
months, a baby’s vision has sharpened to about 20/40. Babies at this age can
pick out a more subtle color contrasts, such as a red button on a red shirt.
They also can see across the room, although they still prefer looking at people
close-up.

That's all
for now, we will see what would be the next month's milestone for my son.
