4 months old

Connor has had a cold for the last month which hasn't impacted his daytime behavior at all, he is finally settling into being a happy and content baby.  Still not a fan of being in the car, but instead of hysterics he just fusses and mildly cries.  He loves the exersaucer and of course being entertained by his brothers.  His doctor's appointment is next week so I will update with his height and weight but daycare just asked me to increase the amount of milk I give from 3 6 oz bottles to 7 or 8 oz bottles!  Hunter was eating 4 ounces at a time, I hope I can keep up!! At his 4 month check up he weighed 15.3 lbs and was 24.5 inches long. He gained 4lbs in 2 months!!
Sleep is another story.  While month 2 was tough because of the colic, he slept like a prince.  Now it is the opposite.  He is great during the day and horrible at night.  He is barely sleeping an hour at a time.  We usually bring him in bed at some point so we can at least not keep getting out of bed.  He cries everytime he loses his pacifier.  I am considering just weaning him off them now, they are more trouble then they are worth and he doesn't even use them during the day.  4am-6am is the worst, he can't settle back to sleep and even when in bed with us he is constantly fussing.  If the doctor gives his health the all clear cry it out is on the horizon.
