J.J is 4 months old!

Omg where is the time going?!

At 4 months old, he is 15lbs, 6oz and 27 inches long! He is currently in 3-6 month clothes, 6 month pants, and mostly 6 and 6-9 month sleepers. I am rotating clothing every 4-6 weeks at this point. It's insane. He is still unvaccinated and we plan to keep it this way for as long as we can. We've had to deal with THREE colds now, the last one being pretty cruddy (with coughing). Other then that, no major problems. He got the rest of my BM stash and was SO unhappy and screamed the whole day. His poor tummy STILL can not handle it!

He has been rolling both directions for quite some time now, he sits up, he can stand, he found his hands (always in his mouth), and he even HOLDS his own bottle! Yep! He's been doing it since about 10 weeks, but now he does it all the time! He can only hold the smaller 6oz bottles but he is my independent man! And now that he is in full time day care we have a 24/7 happy baby! I have NEVER seen him so HAPPY! He comes home every night with daddy HAPPY! He was coming home from his other day care always so upset and angry and now he is just plain happy!! He also is sleeping through the night about 730-8:00pm until anywhere between 3:30-5:30am and will sleep until about 8am. Its wonderful! I have never been so happy!!

On a me note -- Work is getting scary. Our doctor just put in her 2 weeks notice and they have no one to replace her. Which means the hospital might close down for a few weeks until they get someone. Which for me means going on unemployment. We are currently training a doctor, but, I am sure some of you remember me talking a bout the OTHER doctor (the one that killed animals) and this one is JUST like her.

DH and I are ok -- Yes just ok. We have been doing a fair share of arguing lately, mainly about money. But its nothing new.

I have just about lose all my preggo weight except 4 pounds. Go me!

Awwwww how cute! You must take pics of videos of Mr. Little Independent.

Hopefully your job can find a temporary doctor or something so that you wont have to go on unemployment.

how much weight did you gain during your pregnancy? Its great that you only have 4 to go!!!!

Hopefully you and DH will be able to work out your financial issues and continue to be at least ok, but I'm hoping for you guys to be doing, in the words of Tony the Tiger "GGGGGRRREEEAAAAT!!!"

Awwww...sounds like J.J is growing beautifully!

I hope your job finds another doctor so you won't have to close and be on unemployment. That won't help the situation with you and DH. I hope you guys can get your financial issues worked out.
