Yes, this is the second of three updates coming this weekend… I know I know, I’m a terrible father for being so behind. NOT! The website/PAD project has actually been a lot of fun, I just hate doing the photoshop end of the photos because my computer is getting old/tired/slow, so that makes that end a bit of a chore, but it’s worth it in the end.

Anyway Elias is really becoming more and more a person each day now. He’s almost sitting up on his own. We can sit him up and he’ll use his hands to keep himself there for a bit. He’s also been watching us eat/drink a lot more lately, so we’ve started him with rice cereal with breast milk. He eats from a spoon easily enough (he knows the concept of opening the mouth and taking food from the spoon, but doesn’t always swallow what ends up in his mouth). It’s fun and messy so far. He’s also done with being swaddled now. He started by wanting his feet out the last few weeks. He’s been able to roll over for a month at least, but now he could roll over from his back (back to sleep!!!) to his belly swaddled and that wasn’t safe. So we unswaddled him and expected it to be horrible for all of us. Well he now rolls over onto his belly right away and passes out pretty quickly (just like me!). He’s been sleeping on his belly w/o being swaddled very soundly. He’s actually sleeping from ~10pm till ~6am now so Nikki is actually sleeping a normal night now as well. This has been a huge break through for all of us.
