Finally!

I know I know he is 20 weeks today and I finally have gotten it together to get this blog out! I attempted on a couple of occasions, but it just wasn't working out! He is slumbering at the moment. I think( fingers crossed) that he MAY just start settling into taking naps longer than 20 minutes at a time. But again I said MAY!

He is a total mover! He manages to scoot himself in the top corner of his crib no matter how far back we put him! So crawling??? It will be early I predict! He started officially rolling over Halloween. I was out trick or treating with the girls and I get a VM from Aaron saying David had some news for me. I knew IMMEDIATELY what that meant. He had been so close rocking back and forth and with assistance been doing it..... so I just knew. Of course it brought tears to my eyes since I missed it. But i was happy to know Aaron was able to actually get a first for once. Although he was with me when David had his first spontaneous laugh! That was so adorable.... again i cried! we were at breakfast with Emily and i was singing "take me on a trip I want to go someday....." and he started totally cracking up! My heart just melt.
David hardly likes to be on his back anymore... we put him down BOOP there he goes and rolls over! In the crib same thing always on his tummy now! He sometimes sleeps on his sides and even on his tummy. I guess it is OK now. Must be a nice relief. Maybe that is why is actually sleeping more now??? HMMMMMM!!!

I will have to back date some of his milestones since i am a bit behind.

But things are going well I would have to say. He has been sleeping through the night since he was about 9 weeks old. After the accident he fell out of his pattern, then he got his first cold two weeks ago! Luckily it didn't last too long, but it took awhile for him to feel 100% again. We have had close to 5 days now where he hasn't woken up at 3!

At his 4 month Check up he weighed in at 16 pounds and 23 inches! BIG boy no wonder my back is through!!!!! Doc said it was cool to start him on small amounts of food! That has been fun.... of course it is more him learning how to eat than actual consumption. He has tried pears, apricots and sweet potatoes. he has eaten the most of sweet potatoes! He is very strong and sits mainly on his own and bears lots of weight on his legs. He is just so amazing!

We went to his neosurgery follow up apt on Monday and it seems like everything is fine. We have to go back one more time in February, but it looks like he will have no future issues! thank god! We just couldn't take any more! And neither can he! he is one strong little boy.

My little D!

More to come.....
