Would you like some sugar with your fists...

The last two days have been pretty good. Elijah has been great! No tummy aches or anything. He has really changed lately though. He is starting to really teeth now! He is awake for most of the day and he just loves to talk! He also loves to sit up on your lap and just look around at everything in the room. At night he still likes to be swaddled tight, but with his legs out. It is the cutest thing he will move around in his sleep and his arms are bundled tight so they don't go anywhere, but his feet move around so much! He always gets out of his swaddle by the next morning, but it really helps him to sleep longer. When he naps throughout the day I usually don't swaddle him at all so I have really got to see how he will most likely sleep when he's is older. He likes to sleep on his back or his side, but not really his tummy. Sometimes though, I will lay him down for tummy time and he will move around for a while and lift his head and then he will spread his legs and arms out wide and fall asleep. It is so cute!

Yesterday we went to the car show, and it was so crowded. We had a lot of fun and Elijah loved it! He was getting a bit sleepy just as we were passing a driver revving the engine of his really nice Mustang. I was sure Elijah would jump and wake up because it was so loud it startled me, but it actually seemed like it put him right to sleep which was so funny! He woke up again a little while later and he was happy as could be! He is really starting to prefer his fists to his dummie(pacifier) now, so as soon as he wakes up both his fists go straight up to his mouth, and he will actually try to fit them both in at once. It is absolutely hilarious! He is just growing bigger and getting cuter and cuter by the second!
