Wow, it has been so long since I have been here. I guess I have just been so wrapped up with my new baby. I was trying to get Ben to post for me but alas, here I am again posting.
I go back to work on March 7th and I wanted to take a quick moment, while Ben has the baby, to drop you all a line.
William is doing well. He is getting bigger. He is now having cereal in his bottles. This is our attempt at trying to get him to sleep through the night. We started on 2/25 and so far we have had 2 successful nights. One night he slept from 12 midnight to 7AM. That was super sweet. He did fuss a little at night but nothing a quick back rub couldn't fix. We will start him on veggies at the end of this month. I am looking forward to feeding him table foods.His biggest achievement so far is rolling over. Yes, you read that right! William has learned to roll over from his stomach to his back. It was the coolest thing to see. I couldn't believe it.
He is really into his hands and other objects. He explores them by looking at them closely and putting them in his mouth. I try to give him a variety of objects to play with. He is mostly fascinated by his hands. He clasps his fingers together, opens and closes them, and best of all, he sucks on them. :-) That provides a good 45 minutes of entertainment. Then he is ready for the next thing.
We have long conversations and even sing duets.
It feels like he is growing so fast. I can't really see him getting bigger but I know he is growing because I have had to sort out clothes that no longer fit and pull out bigger ones.
My mom started babysitting on 2/26 and boy does William love her. They have tons of fun together. They talk and play and she has no problems getting him to nap. I think it will be good for him to have her here. She completely focuses on him and gives him attention all day. I am curious to see how things go when I get back to work. I don't know how I am going to adjust to not being with my baby boy. I am worried I will miss seeing him growing up. :-(
Well, that is about it for now.
