Back in action!

Little boy finished his antibiotics Saturday afternoon. Look at that adorable little face. All healed. He has a couple of places that look like little scars where the infection was the worse, but I'm hopeful that they will heal and go away eventually. Yay!

Grant and I shared baby duties this past week. We each did half-days. No point in messing this process up for 3 days of daycare. So Noah will go back for the first time in a while on Tuesday. I must say that Grant and I had a lot of fun staying home with Noah. He's been a lot of fun lately.

In other fun, non-health related updates....
1) Noah can officially sit up. I would say he started doing this consistently around 6-1/2 months. Right on time.

2) Noah can sleep without a swaddle! This is amazing to me. I never thought this day would come. The last 3 nights, he has slept the entire night without it. Everyone told me that the baby would let us know when he was ready to sleep unswaddled, but I didn't believe it. It was true, though! Three nights ago, he was screaming and wouldn't go to sleep. I took off his swaddle, just to readjust it, but in the process of me getting it ready, he promptly flipped to his belly and fell asleep. Just like that. I couldn't believe it, and we haven't gone back! Also, the head-scratching, eye-rubbing that he used to do has decreased dramatically. Amazing!

3) I think Noah is at the cusp of crawling. He's doing some rocking motions on his belly. He also does a lot of crawling/scootching motions, but I don't think he is strong enough to pull all of his weight--the curse of a big baby. Anyway, maybe I'm imagining, but I feel that it is coming.

I'm excited for life to be back to normal!
