11/29/2009=4 months old!

I'm so behind on these posts, it's ridiculous!

But, here we are at 4 months! One of the big reasons that I've not posted in over a month is that we seem to be getting very little sleep here in the Simpson household. It seems that the little guy has decided to awaken frequently during the night. Yes, where once he slept from 7:30 to 5:30, his longest stretch now is, and this is if I'm lucky, 3 hours. And naps? Don't make me laugh! I wouldn't even begin to call what he does during the day that's sleep-related a "nap." Nope! I would refer to it as a hiatus. He will take a hiatus for 30 minutes every hour or so. So, I spend my afternoons rocking this big-ball-of-a-kid. Seriously, that's what I'm doing every afternoon. So, if you call and I don't answer, I'm on the rocking chair.
If this kid weren't so darn sweet, I'm positive that I would have sold him by now. He's has the best disposition, even if he's only operating on less than 2 hours of day-time sleep (he should be getting 4-6 hours of sleep during the day). So, my blog time and any personal time that I was getting in the past is now gone, gone, gone.
We do have some stats for you. This guy weighs over 18lbs!! At 4 months!! That puts him in the 95% for weight. He's in the 90% for height, too, although I don't have the exact figure for you now. And I'm not interested in wasting my coveted 30 minutes of no-kid time to go look for the paper on which I have his measurement written. Take my word for it: The kid's big.
Have I mentioned how sweet he is? I get comments and compliments all the time on his disposition. Annnnnd, he's rolled over several times, although I've yet to capture it on video.

That's about all I have for now. Gonna use the rest of my 30 minutes to do something productive...like, maybe, shower. Hubby'll appreciate that.
