- He is smiling a lot more now, and becoming much more interactive. If I am holding him in my lap, he will crane his head around to watch Leah run around. He always smiles at her. He smiles when you "baby talk" to him, and he smiles when you touch his cheek. He also loves to be held up in "airplane" position and look down on Mommy-- that always makes him grin! He is especially smiley in the mornings when he first wakes up. I think I've even heard him laugh once or twice, but not sure if that's what he was really doing.
- His eating patterns are a much more predictable 2 1/2 to 3 hour schedule now (usually it's only 2 1/2 hours when I push him to eat earlier so we can go somewhere). Night time is always unpredictable. He's slept 6 or 7 hour stretches a couple nights, but never 2 nights in a row. It seems like he'll never sleep through then night! Sometimes I still have to get up 4 or 5 times a night (although he doesn't eat every time, sometimes he's just fussy), sometimes just once.
- We have been practicing with bottles-- I try to give him one a day, since I would like to be able to do things without him for longer than 3 hours every once in awhile. He still takes them very very slowly and never takes more than 3 oz. or so, but he's getting a little better each time.
- He's trying really hard to roll over. He seems to like it on his side a whole lot (probably craning around to see Leah or the TV). He tolerates tummy time. Of course his favorite place to play is still someone's arms.
- I tried him in his Exersaucer. He's still a little too small-- he needs a little more head control-- but he tolerated it for a few minutes. You can see I had to stuff blankets all around him to keep him in place!
