Four Months

Yikes I haven't been posting. Maybe because I just don't have ANY free time lately! Roman is now 4 1/2 months and doing well. Although he seems to have picked up a bit of the four month sleep regression lately waking up 2 or 3 times a night rather than 1 which is no fun for us. He did well during the weekdays this past week, but last night started up again. We've been trying to put him to sleep drowsy but awake as recommended, but sometimes he just screams and cries so much I end up picking him up as I fear he'll wake Sophie, or the neighbors! I'll have to be more diligent about it though as he seems unable to fall back asleep on his own lately.

Other than that he is doing well. He weighed in at 15 lbs 1 oz at his 4 month appointment and is now 25" long! He's smiling and laughing, trying to roll over. He successfully rolled from his back to his tummy twice in one day, and then from his tummy to his back another day. But since hasn't done either! He now grabs his feet when he rolls around and squeals a bit which is really cute. Still, he seems so much less animated when compared with Sophie of course, as she is just so incredibly active! I'm still having a hard time juggling my time between the two of them, work and home. I always feel like I'm disappointing someone. Some days I'm so stressed by 5pm and so ready for David to come home, but he's been working late hours lately so often hasn't been coming home until 7 or 8 o'clock. Needless to say once I put them down for sleep I collapse on the couch and veg out with mindless TV.

The weather is finally warming up ever so slightly, 50 degrees this weekend! Even this small increase is just so promising of what's to come.
