Ready, set, burp!

This morning Elijah had a tummy ache and he just wanted to sit on his Daddy's lap and be burped. He absolutely loves to do that! He was so sad and we could tell he just wasn't feeling well so after he had been burped for a while he started to cry again so I cuddled him and hummed to him and he calmed down and fell asleep. When He woke up a few minutes later he was much better. He smiled and laughed for the rest of the day! He took a long nap in the afternoon and I had time to clean up a bit.

My sister gave me this adorable little book called fit mama and it talks about using your baby as a weight when you exercise and how it's fun for both him and you, plus you get a work out. So tonight I gave it a try and he loved it!! He was smiling and looking all around so intently. I think I will start doing that every day and make it part of our routine. Along with a walk around the block and yoga a few times a week.

In the last week Elijah has really got a grip on where both his fists are and he loves...I mean loves to suck on them. They are always in his mouth and he just giggles and makes loud noises! It is so cute! I definitely think he will be a thumb sucker because he really doesn't care for his dummy(pacifier). He is just so precious!

Tonight I told Baby a story...It was the first made up story he's every heard! : ) I remember loving that as a kid and thinking that nobody else got to hear that exact story but me. He fell asleep half way through and he was just so adorable. He's sound asleep now and I am very tired also, so I'm off to bed now.
