More and More...

With each day, it seems like David Scott is doing more than the day before.  Either he's awake more, or he's "talking" more, or he seems to be content "playing" more.  It's so great to watch him transition from a blob that did nothing but eat, sleep and poop for the first couple of months into a little person who interacts with us and those surrounding us. 

Mama (aka Grandmother/Gran) and Rachel (aka Auntie Boo) came in for a visit this past weekend.  We went shopping and out to eat, but we also hung out around the house some.  While we were out in public, David Scott was great.  He wasn't too fussy and we really didn't have to leave anywhere due to him having a meltdown.  Adults 1; David Scott 0.  Then, this morning, after he woke up and I fed him, Auntie Boo and Gran took DS into the living room so I could sleep a little longer. Two hours later, I awoke to the sound of a trio of voices in the living room: David Scott was having a lively conversation with his aunt and grandmother. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and I know that they did too as they were both DYING to see him since it had been over a month since they saw him last.

Speaking of sleeping, ever since DS got the RSV diagnosis, he's been sleeping with us.  Or, I guess I should say that he's been sleeping in our bed with me (while Scotty slept on the couch), or David Scott and I would sleep on the couch and let Scotty sleep in the bed.  Not the most comfortable of sleeping arrangements, but I wanted to be sure he was breathing properly and elevated well, so what better way to do so than to let him sleep either beside me or on top of me.  Well, needless to say, the word exhausted is an understatement for how I've been feeling, so we decided to finally let him sleep in his crib in his own room.  We started doing this last week and it's been going pretty well.  He went from waking up twice during the night most nights, to waking up about 3 or 3:30 like he did before he got sick (he's still a little congested and has a snotty nose, but is doing much, much better, by the way).  And, I'm probably cursing myself by putting this in writing, but I've already said it several times today so I might as well:  DS slept through the night last night!  A couple of times before,  he's slept til about 5, but this morning, he slept until 6:30 -- when he normally eats breakfast.  Woohoo! 

That's really all that's been going on with us.  Here are a few pictures of David Scott playing and just being cute:
