Has it already been 4 months?!

Ryker turned 4 months on the 19th and I can't believe it. Time really does fly! I guess four months for adults is a lot different than for babies because they do so much changing and growing in that short amount of time. Ryker has doubled in weight since he was born. At his doctors appointment this week he weighed in at 15 1/2 lbs, was 25 1/2 inches long and his head measured 18 1/4 inches. He had his shots which are never fun but he took them like a champ. He was a little fussy that night and the next day but nothing too serious. He is such a tough little guy and has had such a hard couple weeks with his tongue surgery and hos shots. We are glad that is over. Hopefully, we will have a couple months with no issues.

Ryker is definitely a mommy's boy but he loves his daddy too. I am enjoying it while it lasts because I am sure when he is a couple years old that will switch. He is still only breastfeeding (which I would like to give myself props for because it is/was very difficult). We are hoping to continue this for a year however I am thinking about introducing food to him soon. I can't decide if I want to start now or wait a couple months. He obviously doesn't need anything else to supplement so there is no hurry.

Ryker loves to go! When he starts being fussy at home it usually means that he wants to get out of the house. He likes to be in his stroller or in a buggy and people watch. He still loves to go outside with daddy and enjoys bath time. He is a lot more interactive with us. He follows us around the room with his eyes, laughs when we laugh, and talks to us a lot. We got him a jumper that he plays in independently. He is a little maniac when he gets mad! There is not a lot that we can do to calm him down when he gets in his mood. He will look you straight in the eyes and scream his head off. He went to the babysitter for the first time for about an hour and showed out. Nicole is wonderful and agreed to keep watching him when I go to class but we felt awful. I hope he gets used to being there and is better next time.

Ryker's nicknames right now are Baby, Buggy, Buggas which I call him and Boar Hog, Maniac which is what Ryan calls him. We both still call him Bubba.
