I didn't realize it has been almost a month since the last post! August had his 4 month check up last week. We found out he had only gained 9 ounces in 2 months. Not good. I went into panic mode and got online to research organic formula so we could supplement him and get his weight back up. I also met with a lactation nurse to figure out why he has not been gaining weight. The conclusion is that my milk supply is drying up because he sleeps 10-12 hours a night. Who knew that having an awesome sleeper would cause so many problems! So now I am pumping after every feeding and getting up in the middle of the night to pump. We are hoping to avoid waking August for a nighttime feeding. So far so good, he has gained one pound in 2 weeks.

The good news at his 4 month appointment was he rolled over for us! He has been rolling front to back and back to front. His grip is getting stronger also, he reaches for his toys and has been able to pull them off his activity mat.

Here he is practicing tummy time in front of a very dusty mirror!

Holding on to his toys.

We have also been spending more time at the cake shop. Last week Mandy was out of town so it was just the 3 of us working away (Jake, August and I). We were able to borrow a pack n play for August to hang out in, but he got bored so we had to get creative with ways to keep him entertained

Doesn't he look entertained?

This is his new adorable baby pose. He only does this with his dad.

Next week we are going to have his 4 month pictures taken. Wish us luck.

Here is a video of August sucking his thumb. He just started this about a week ago!

So we have discovered hands and feet, rolled over both way and thumb sucking. Now that I am no longer starving him who knows what will happen next!
