- Spitting up
- Holding his head up by himself
- Watching ceiling fans
- Trying to get everything in his mouth
- Chewing on everything, including his tongue, and drooling...maybe getting ready for a tooth??
- Rolling over-- he has rolled from front to back several times, and can now turn onto his side from his back as well
- Playing with rattles
- Pooping in the bouncy seat-- the bouncy seat really brings out the best in Finley (sometimes I've had to wash it multiple times in a day)
- Lots of smiling and baby talk! (We love this hobby!)
Nate spent the last week at a work conference in Boston, and I stayed on in NC with my parents. Being without Nate made me realize how difficult it must be for single parents! My parents were a great help, but Finley had a rough week for sleep, which means I had a rough week for sleep. He turned into a little night owl this week and would take forever (hours!) to go to sleep. He also felt the need to wake up and eat every 3 or 4 hours, which was difficult after we had gotten used to him doing a longer sleep for 5-7 hours. Here's how last night went, as an example: 8:30pm Finley asleep. 9:30pm Finley awake. 10pm Finley eating. 10:15pm-12:15am I try to get Finley to sleep, only to eventually give up out of exhaustion and put him in the bouncy seat to sleep. I know, it's terrible, but I was desperate. And of course he woke up a few hours later and wanted to eat, and then the next thing I know it's 6:15am and I have to get up and shower and pack for the flight home. Here's hoping we can get him into a solid routine when we get back to HK and stop traveling for a while!
