4 months old

So Cole has had an eventful month. He started sleeping ~5 hrs at night, but then caught a stomach bug at school and resumed the 4am wake up call. We've been back & forth to the pediatrician for the eczema.  When he started to sleep through the night and we were stuck inside with the winter weather he ended up only gaining 4oz in about 3 weeks. Then with the additional unplanned 4am feedings, Cole packed on 9 oz in 10 days! He weighed 12 lbs 15 oz on Tuesday.

We are struggling to find a formula that works for him. The regular formula seems to cause his skin to flare up. The first try of soy seemed to coincide with some bloody stools. So I'm off dairy and egg as much as I can without cooking every meal and his ezcema has improved. I'm back to full time, so hopefully we can figure something out & get more sleep soon!

He is starting to kick himself in circles when he is in his playmat and is grabbing & batting at toys. He has found his fingers and fist and sometimes prefers them to his binky. He also has had fun kicking his legs and even has rubbed his feet together, hitting his extra toe.
