4 months old!!

Ahhh my little boy is starting to be such a big boy!! I know every mom is always like I cant believe it but it really is crazy. One day you have this tiny little newborn and all the sudden you have this baby that acts like such a big kid and it just all happens so fast. Well mr Aiden is exactly four months old today he has his check up on friday I cant wait to see how much he has grown im betting this boy is at least 17 lbs he sure loves his momma milk. I spent such a long time researching when to start solids and everything is just such a joke no one even knows when the best time is I feel like its all just a bunch of crap. So I threw out all the research and started watching him and letting him tell me when he was ready well he can pretty much sit up by himself and he has been grabbing at our food and I just could tell he at least wanted to see what all the good smells were about. So we made some organic carrots and let him try them and he absolutely loved it. He definitely has lots his reflex and was eating and swallowing the food. How do I know this for sure well his next few dirty diapers had all the proof! He is not getting much though maybe a tbl or two and its not ever day either. He is drinking the same amount of milk as he was before maybe even more this 4 month growth spurt is no lie! I am glad I just went with my instincts on it though he is for sure ready to start tasting some real food but in no way is it going to be replacing his nursing feeds. I cant believe how smart he is getting he has been playing with his toys for weeks now and loves to stick everything in his little mouth. He can even turn the noisemaker toys so that they will make the noises its just crazy I feel like he is so small to be learning everything like that already humans are truly amazing beings. We got him a jumparoo and he loves it he goes crazy in it talking and hitting all the toys making them light up and sing. I swear I show him how to do things once and he remembers. Sleep is still sad days in this home this boy likes his night feedings a lot! I am still feeding him three sometimes four or more times a night luckily he goes right back to sleep after but I sure cant wait until we can cut out a couple of them. We had a few hard days with naps once he figured out how to roll both ways. I would lay him down for a nap and he usually would just put himself to sleep but those few days he would just roll and roll and roll and not go to sleep at all it was terrible! Now he seems to be over it and will nap again but it seems like he is into a 30 minute nap habit now. I am sure its just because of how much his little brain is growing and it must be hard to deal with all this new stuff happening. I love this little boy so much and although I miss sleeping all night I wouldn't trade it for the world.
