Eating: Nicholas still nurses every 3-4 hours. He'll begin taking bottles during the day with Mariel on Monday since Mommy goes back to work. We are hoping the pumping at work thing works because he refuses to eat formula! He has eating rice cereal (spoon-fed) a few times but isn't a huge fan. Hopefully next month we'll be able to introduce veggies and that will be more exciting.
Sleeping: This has improved since my rants on Facebook. Good (and most) nights are 10 hour sleeps, split almost exactly in two with a feeding. Not-so-good nights (1-2 nights a week) have 2 or 3 wake-ups. He seems to be going down a little earlier, closer to 8 the past couple of nights. That will work in my favor since I'll have to wake him up at 6 to eat starting Monday. Good nap days are three naps of 45 mins to 1.5 hours. Other days it's four 30 minute naps throughout the day.
Activities: He loves his activity mat and rolling over everywhere. He has mastered rolling back to belly and really wants to crawl, but we're a ways from that. He also likes sitting up in his bumbo with a tray of toys, or watching Mikaela play. He has started figuring out bouncing in his bouncing toy as well. He has really started to enjoy bathtime as well. He's beginning to kick his feet and splash the water. He's been able to bathe with Mikaela some too so that's been fun.
Teething: He doesn't have any teeth yet but he loves to eat his hands (or yours if you'll let him) and drools even more than before.
Heath: We went back to the dermatologist last week to start the oral medication for his hemangioma. While it was doing better than before, I was continually "chasing ulcers" so we decided it was time to step it up from topical. He is responding well and it looks much better. His reflux has improved quite a bit, too.
