6 weeks!!!

Well, here we are at 6 weeks already. It has been exciting to watch Evan change just within the past two weeks. He has learned that he does not always have to cry to tell me he is hungry. It has been amazing to watch his cues that he is hungry.

We are working with him to help him push himself up...he is trying. However, he is so alert now and its so fun to play!! He laughs and smile some while playing. He also has learned how to hold his rattle!!!

He now enjoys swinging and riding in his stroller!! It has also been a relief for me because I can put him in the swing and know he is fine and then I can get exercise while he enjoys looking around outside.

He still has good and bad nights with sleeping. Last night he sleep for seven hours...which is awesome! Other nights he sleeps four hours at a time. I am working on getting him on a routine...Hoping that he will get better as far as napping and sleeping at night. However, he is still sleeping in his car seat at night...during the day I am working with him on sleeping on his back. He is making progress!! Just pray that he will sleep in his crib soon!

I made it back to church this past Sunday and it felt so great!! Evan went in the service for the music but was waking so I took him to the nursing room to eat! It was just great to get out. Following church we went to Wendy's to eat. These are big steps for me because I have been so afraid of taking him in public because I get nervous when he gets upset...but I'm getting over that!

So today, we went to eat with Jason at the Mall and I was able to look around some before it was time for him to eat again.

I feel that things are getting much better for me and I am so excited that I feel more comfortable taking him in public!

I can't wait to see what is to come in the next few weeks and he continues to grow and develop!
