I decided to put him in a little tank-top onesie this time because it is crazy Africa hot here and we do live in the Redneck Riviera, after all. :) Plus you can see his rolls better. That was the real reason.
Oh my gosh, this baby is precious. Seriously. He is the most laid-back, sweetest little thing. He will just go with the flow most days and will sleep when he feels tired, even if we're not at home, stay awake a little longer if I need him to while we're out, take naps without a fight, chill in the stroller or Baby Bjorn carrier or the car seat when he needs to, hang out in the crib in the mornings just rolling around and chatting to himself... he may fuss a little bit if he's not completely happy but doesn't ever really put up a huge complaint. Okay, sometimes he does put up a complaint at bedtime or a few hours after bedtime when he thinks he wants to eat earlier than normal.... but that's pretty much the only time. :)
The older boys just ADORE him... every morning when I go in to get D up they all have to come with me and will climb up onto the side of the crib and start cooing at him and talking to him in little high-pitched baby voices, "Hiiiiiii Davis!! Good Morning, Baby!!" while rubbing his head. It is the sweetest thing.
His sleep is getting a little better.... He will go from about 10:30 til maybe 5:00 without eating, but he still usually wakes up around 2:30 or 3:00 and I have to go in there and put his pacifier back in to get him to fall back asleep. Sometimes it takes a few times, but he's usually okay with not eating then. Although I kind of wonder why I'm doing that because it would be much quicker to just feed him and have him fall back asleep... *sigh* It's so hard to know what's best to do sometimes!
J and E were helping me make Davis smile during these pics.
He still hasn't taken to sucking a thumb or finger. And this is how he feels about the pacifier...
Meh. It will keep him content if he's a little fussy and help him go back to sleep sometimes but he can kind of take it or leave it. I'm thinking we may not use it much longer.
He is rolling all over the place, scooting around on his stomach, pushing up to all fours, and attempting to crawl. You can see how badly he wants to move... he just can't quite figure out how to move his hands forward yet.
He can kind of sit up unassisted but will plop over to the side after a few minutes.
This pic was from a few weeks ago when I first noticed him starting to get up on hands and knees.
And then a few days later he was even more confident with it and was rocking back and forth trying to lurch forward!
The only thing that's kind of a pain that D still won't do is drink from a bottle. He won't even drink breast milk from it. Boo. :( That's really our fault, though, since we haven't been pushing it and we didn't start him on the bottle soon enough. But we will start introducing food here soon and maybe that will help make him more acceptable of things other than boobies. But he is a dude, so who knows? Haha!

What.a.cutie. Too bad I can't get him to hang out with A, she refuses to drink out of anything but a bottle.
