Things have been busy since the last blog post 😆. Obviously posting blogs is not a priority nor a forte. I don’t think I’ll ever become a traditional Blogger. But, I don’t do baby books so this is what the kids will have aside from hard drives full of iPhone pictures! You're welcome, children. I hope to get the rest of the pregnancy pictures posted, even just for my family to look back on. And I DEFINITELY want to share my birth story!!
The first four months has been an absolute whirlwind. Chance has been an amazing baby. But thinking back to when we came home from the hospital if feels like it’s been a decade! So much has happened since then. We gone through all of the typical baby things but we’re officially out of the newborn stage and I feel like Chance and I really understand each other.
He is a happy baby who loves his mama, but might like his big sister even more! The way he looks at her and the way she looks at him is the most satisfying feeling I have ever experienced in this lifetime. I couldn’t feel more blessed, and I feel like my life and family are complete. It was love at first sight for both of them.
This little chunker is just shy of 19 pounds at 4 months old. He has been at the top of the standard growth curve since the beginning, but even jumped higher on his own growth curve starting at One month old. We dealt with the crazy emergency room scare at five days old, to find out his jaundice levels were fine. At five weeks old we discovered he had a tongue and lip tie that needed to be revised. A few weeks later I decided to cut out dairy, and after a slip up a few weeks in (aka me eating a whole cheese pizza 🙄), we confirmed his intolerance or sensitivity to dairy. I will say through it all we have seen and amazing chiropractor that has helped keep Chance feeling his optimal self.
I'm going to share all of his milestone pictures in a separate post.... this little man has packed on the pounds and seeing them all back to back is awesome!
