6 weeks and buying a crib

So as the days progress and Eli gets more awake and alive, its much harder to be on the computer! Our house is pretty busy and guests will be coming in/out for the next 2-3 weeks so thats all consuming! So my little Eli is 6 weeks today. His neck control is getting better everyday. He is def. more kicky and stretchy and moving his legs in a "I want to get up and run around" type of way. Hmm, he is super cute.

I get more grins/giggles when we have one on one time and I sing him our song. He is def. cooing and developing language skills. Nightimes are slowly, s-l-o-w-l-y evening themselves out. Night by night. I am working on giving him 1 feeding a night, then eventually none. But since he is only 6 weeks we are doing a fab job. I have tentatively decided that mid-August will be when I move him into his nursery. I figure he will be a little over 2 months and will have had some time to adjust. Its gonna be hard- and weird and all that sorts of stuff. I will def. be one of those mothers than runs in to check to see if he is breathing several times/night.

Also I bought him a crib today!!! And I say "wow, that is freakin' expensive!" You have to buy the crib, then a mattress, then sheets (haven't done the sheets yet) and I won't tell you how much it is. But I included a pic! Its a convertible one and its cherry.. So I will eventually use the crib for this child and future child (g-d willing) and then use the headboard/footboard for me b/c I like it so much! So I think it was well worth it. But I have no plans on putting him in the crib or even transitioning him into a crib until the High Holidays in late September, which means he will be abt 3, 3 1/2 mths.. So I feel slightly better abt it.

There are a couple of things on my mind that I might as well share w/the blog world. I am still worried abt the vaccines, I bought the Dr. Sears Vaccine book. Apparently Dr. Sears is to our generation what Dr. Spock was to our parents generation. He is due for his first part of his series on August 11th..

But on a lighter note, I can't decide whether to do family portraits of he and I before the high holidays or new years... Also I am starting to think of his halloween costume (which not surprisingly enough they were selling at babies r us!). So thats gonna be fun!!!!

Okie, tis it for now!
