This is a picture of what Matthew looks like waking up - we're so happy that he's a happy waker upper :o)

The BIG news is - he rolled over yesterday!! After his nap, he was arching his back and up on his hands to look at the mirrored toy attatched to his crib. I scooted him over so he could have a closer look - when he raised himself up to check it out, he just rolled over onto his back! It didn't really phase him - I think he was just happy to have his hands freed up so he could put them in his mouth! :o)

Another thing Matthew is working on is grabbing his feet - I just noticed that today.



On a side note, Mark and I had been trying to switch him over to a different, cheaper formula for the past couple of weeks. With the switch, his feedings have become increasingly difficult - so much that I was dreading them - esp. the late evening one. He was fussy, not eating as much and I was back to working with him for an hour or more just to be patient with him so he would eat more. Also, he's been having looser stools.
Well, I just couldn't go through it all again today. Mark is in Chicago today and tomorrow, I didn't sleep more than two hours last night because the rain hitting our bedroom windows is like water torture - seriously, it sounds like your microwaving popcorn. Anyway, after him refusing to eat after only an ounce of the new stuff, I gave up and gave him the last four ounces that we had left of the old stuff - and what do you know - he drank it just fine. So, I loaded him up and we went to WalMart to get more formula(his first trip to WalMart). His last feeding with all of the old stuff was easy-peasy compared to the last couple of days. Poor little guy. I'm glad that we tried the other stuff - I would have been very happy to use it if it would have agreed with Matthew's system.
