Landen now weighs 7 lbs. 8 oz. and is 22 inches long! He is certainly growing just taking his time at it! Our doctor is not too concerned but does want us to take Landen to a pediatric endocrinologist just to make sure everything is okay and to see if there may have been a reason for his low birth weight and slow weight gain. Our doctor does not see a reason, he justs wants to be sure and I appreciate that! It does make me worry just a little but I agree that we need to know for sure. However, Landen is doing EVERYTHING a four month old is suppose to and that is a great sign! He is starting to reach for things....he will grab his toys on his bouncy seat and try to get them in his mouth! He will roll over occasionally but not too much yet...he actually doesn't like to lay down a whole lot, he would rather be in an upright position. He has recently started sleeping through the night! YAY! :) He is still wearing preemie size clothes and newborn size diapers. He eats 3 oz. of formula every 2-3 hrs. and will be starting rice cereal very soon! He loves it when someone talks to him, specifically the ladies...he's already a ladies man! Haha! He will smile and coo back when the ladies talk to him, but if a man talks to him he will just stare at him, except for a few men that can get him to smile! :) He continues to coo and smile more and more! I love to see him watch Brayden...as soon as he sees him he smiles and watches his every move. Brayden loves to "talk to" or "play" with Landen. It is so cute to see them together!
