Otso's 4th Month

Summary
Otso has become a joy. He smiles readily and likes to interact with people. He is generally low maintenance.

Events
23.1 first successful acceptance of milk from a bottle (breast milk) - and lumi was the one who did it!
29.1 trip to US, meeting Troy and Des and the cousins for the first time
2.2 lumi's birthday party
8.2 flight to Atlanta, meeting Grandma for the first time
17.2 Georgia Aquarium
18.2 flight to Florida, meeting Grandpa and Mama Dollie for the first time

Play / Development
He likes rattles and can sometimes hold one in his hand and shake it. He also likes his playmat, provided someone else is helping him. He smiles a lot. He seems to easily hold his head up, and the nurse said he is "strong". He is enjoying his time with the cousins in Indy. He was great on the plane and barely cried. The flight attendant on the long flight complimented me on my kids' great behavior.
Samari and him seemed to have a cute connection.

Eating
Otso is still eating efficiently. One tricky thing is that he sucks on his hands when he is sleepy, not when he is hungry.
He refuses bottles and pacifiers.

Sleeping
He is now ready for a regular bedtime schedule, instead of just napping until we go to bed. We are definitely working out the kinks for this.
He still doesn't like to be put down on his back by himself. Fortunately, we were able to borrow a bouncy chair in both Indy and Atlanta so he could nap during the day.

Health
He had a stuffy nose after the long plane trip.

Stats
At doctor appointment 27.1, he was 7.18 kg, 63 cm, head 41.4 cm
