Four month recap

Caleb is four months old today! We're already 1/3 of the way through his first year!

Weight: 12lbs, 3oz (at his appointment on Feb 20th)

Length: 22"

Clothing size: 3 months

Diaper size: size 1

Eating: Caleb takes 3oz of Similac formula, seven times per day. Whatever he doesn't finish from his bottle, he receives through his NG tube. His occupational therapist suggested we introduce rice cereal at four months, so we started that a couple days ago. He eats about two teaspoons mixed with formula twice/day.

Sleeping: Caleb sleeps 4 hour stretches at night, and we have to wake him to eat. He sleeps in his Rock & Play Sleeper, in his nursery. He naps 15-30 minutes at a time throughout the day. He's an unpredictable napper, because our daytime schedule (appointments, therapy, etc) is still pretty inconsistent.

Highlight of the month: Caleb had open heart surgery on Feb 1st. He spent twelve days Children's Medical Center in Dallas and two days at Ronald McDonald House. We returned home on Feb 15th.
