7 weeks and counting....



*Elliott Ryan White was born June 2nd 2009 and he was 7lbs 3ozs*
So I decided to jump on the whole "blogging" band wagon like everyone else. Now everyone can stay updated on the little guy...and us (if anything remotely interesting happens). I try to update on a regular basis.
So as everyone knows...i think the big event for week 6 was Aunt Rachael's wedding. Which I must say Elliott was on his best behavior for. I waited on pins and needles during the wedding for him to let out a shriek or cry. Not a peep from the little guy! Thank you Lord. I think it sucked the energy right out of him because I barely heard even the slightest whimper from him all day Sunday. He barely woke up to eat and then was back out again.
Week 7 has been fairly uneventful for us. We are starting to get a bit of a routine down at night. We put on his long comfy pj's and he eats around 10 and then sleeps until almost 3.
We are still working on the sleeping through the night thing! Hopefully one of these days soon, he will not need to get up in the middle of the night. He usually wakes up again at 6, eats again, and then sleeps for about 3 more hours.
He is such a happy baby when he wakes up in the morning! He just laughs and coo's when I take him in his room and put him on his changing table. He also has a thing with his left leg. He kicks that thing a million miles an hour. I don't know what it is, I guess that's just his favorite leg? He is starting to hold his head up better each day. He has also started to roll over on his side sometimes. He laughs when we laugh and smiles when we smile.
Aunt robin took some pictures today so I will try to post some soon. Now to see what week 8 will bring!
