Elliot may not be rolling over yet, but he is trying very hard to crawl. In fact, with a lot of effort, he can wiggle his way across the carpet. It's pretty darn cute and reminds me that we need to do some serious baby proofing!
He is also REALLY interested in food. He will stop anything he's doing if he sees someone munching on something, and he watches my fork {or spoon} go from my plate to my mouth and back again, completely transfixed. I feel a little bad withholding food from him, since he is so excited about it. But then again, just because he seems ready on the outside does not in any way mean that he's ready on the inside. I've been reading a lot about it. The AAP recommends waiting until 6 months, so I'll wait. We definitely don't need to take any chances with his sensitive tummy.
What else is new around here? Well, Elliot has a pretty bad case of cradle cap that just appeared overnight a few days ago. It's starting to look better but it's pretty gross and to be honest, it gives me the heebie jeebies. I have no idea whether this is related or just a coincidence, but he is also losing his hair at an alarming rate. I have washed his crib sheets the last three days in a row because every morning they are COVERED in hair. And anytime I rub his head, a million little hairs come out. They're sticking to EVERYTHING- especially his mouth, since he's so drooly.
I can't believe I fell in love with a bald, toothless man! :)
