Our little chunky monkey is doing very well. He's not rolling just yet, but he's pushing up on his elbows and using his legs to push his butt up in the air and over his boppy.

Nathan seems to have his days and nights mixed up; the past few weeks he's been up during the wee hours of the morning talking up a storm. Dr. Hirsch said at this point he's capable of sleeping 8 hours at a time so during the day he shouldn't sleep more than 3 hours at a time. Hopefully that helps get him back on track and gives me some much needed sleep.

He doesn't particularly care for his bassinet so at night he's been sleeping in his swing or with us. I'd like to transition him to his crib/room soon.

Dr. Hirsch gave us the okay to start solids. We'll start with rice cereal for a couple of weeks and then add on veggies and fruits. I'm thinking he'll take to solids pretty well since he's such a healthy eater.
