Roddie Report: 7 week update

Roddie continues to do well, and smile at his Mama :) He's north of 10.5 lbs now and some nights I only need to get up once to feed him (and never more than twice) We also started putting him to bed 'sleepy' instead of asleep, and he did really well - took him about 15-20 minutes to settle down to sleep. It's amazing how much more relaxed we are about such things than the first time around. Some of you may recall the first time we got Norah to put herself to sleep... let's just say it involved my Dad, some good friends, some chocolate chip cookies and about an hour! In any case, she's been great about bed ever since, so here's hoping we get lucky again!
Rod is also doing great with holding his head up, and while he hasn't made a move to roll over yet, he is a big fan of the windmill move - he can rotate himself a full 180 in the blink of an eye! His legs are also getting stronger, he likes to stand up on his legs and can pretty much hold his own weight!
Here he is, practicing sleeping in his crib for the day (soon??) that he moves into Norah's room and out of our room!

We've been drinking a lot of tea again at our house... I think Roddie prefers milk, but big sister Norah really wants him to try to some tea!

Here he is, in the jungle Gym, holding his head up high!
... and making a move towards rolling over!

Now this is what they mean when they say sleeping like a baby! ZZZZ!
