He still really only gets breastmilk. He does get formula quite often when we are out and he needs to eat NOW! I've tried to feed him solids many times (the doctor told me to...), but he keeps sticking his tongue out so I can't get the spoon in. I'm guessing that means he isn't ready.
As far as skills, he can roll over when he wants to, but most of the times he is on his stomach he cries until someone flips him over. He is starting to roll to the side quite often to find a toy. He can sit up by himself (for very short periods of time) if I prop him up with his hands on the floor or in his lap.
Sleep: He is a bad nighttime sleeper. Well, that's not true. He sleeps fine; he just wakes up ALL THE TIME! Lately it's three or four times a night. My new policy (as of two days ago) is that if it's been less than three hours since I last fed him, I'll try to make him cry it out. He has been going to bed around 8 and gets up around 6:30 ish. I like these times the best because then his naps work out around 9:00, 12:00, and 3:30. He doesn't nap very long--maybe 40 minutes at the most.
Well, here are some pictures of my handsome little boy. I'm told his ptosis is getting better (droopy left eyelid), but you can judge that for yourselves. Pictures are where it is most evident.
