Wesley's four-month stats

Our pediatrician's office is undergoing some changes, and in the midst of everything Wesley's 4-month appointment was cancelled and rescheduled. The original appointment was scheduled for 10 days after his "monthday," and today was actually the rescheduled date. Since he's practically five months old I'll just post his stats with that update. Here's what he's been up to, though:

Looking serious.

Current developments include rolling to his side, drooling a ton, spitting up less, sucking his thumb, sleeping swaddle-free as of 3.5 months old, sleeping in his crib in Elle's room at night (guess I should start calling it "the kids' room" and not Elle's room ...), finding his feet, talking a lot, trying to sit up. Officially busting out of almost all 3-month clothes and definitely fitting extremely well in 3-6 month clothes. This kid is getting more mobile by the day, too - although he hasn't rolled over in months, he scoots like it's his job. You put him in one place, whether it be on his back or stomach, and he's always in another place, often facing a different direction, just minutes later.

Current habits include nursing/taking a bottle 6-7 times a day, sleeping a solid stretch of 7-9 hours at night, lots of trying to sit up, mastering head control

It started to become a challenge to keep up with supply/demand on the breastfeeding front this month. After I was sick for a few days with a cold, my supply dropped a bit, and it seemed his demand simultaneously went up a bit. Add in a few precious ounces of breastmilk that were lost (due to leaking, spilling and an accidental wasting of thawed milk), and my supply was down and my freezer stash was rapidly depleting. I made sure I boosted my water intake, started taking fenugreek and feel like I'm in a better position now to keep up and try to get ahead of Chunky Monkey's milk needs.

I'm already trying to figure out what his first word will be and when it will be uttered ... I'm guessing that it will have something to do with Elle :)

Current loves include eating, baths, the activity mat, watching his sister.

Current nicknames Bro, Hoots, Chunky Monkey ... Elle went through a stage where she was naming everything with an "oots" sound. She was naming stuffed animals things like "Woots" and "Doots," and a few days later I was asking her if she thought we should name Wesley something else. She said "Yes. Hoots." I like it, and it has stuck so far!
