Okay, this is the first of my posts that I'm going to try and do weekly called 'Baby Mania!' In these posts I'd like to both update you on Nathanial and what all he is up to these days and to share some advice and products we use all of the time.
Nathanial is doing well. As I mentioned in my Blessings post, he's had a poo today so he is good! He's figured out that he can roll over, but he hasn't figured out how to roll himself back over onto his back again! Lee freaks out at night because we often find him rolled over on his belly in his crib.
Which leads me to my first product recommendation: Breathable Baby blankets and bumpers. The bumpers are breathable but allow for there to be a barrier that will keep your baby's limbs from hanging out of the crib. Also, the blankets can be folded upon themselves several times and you can still breath through them! Visit http://www.breathablebaby.com/
Back to Nathanial! He's onto solid foods - only a few spoonfuls of vegetables at lunch and some rice cereal in the evenings. He likes green beans and apples the best. He can't decide about sweet potatoes. I didn't like them until I was 23. Now I eat at least one a week!
In regards to his arm, as you know he suffered a brachial plexus injury and now has what is called "Erb's Palsy." We heard back briefly concerning the MRI and it looks like a partial avulsion from the spine. We're being referred to the neurosurgeon, so I believe surgery may be recommended. We are still hopeful that surgery is not required. Keep that in your prayers!
Toys that Nathanial is enjoying these days are the Lamaze Chime Garden and the Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo. We love the Chime Garden and the only problem we have with the Jumperoo is that it can be difficult to get him in it. Once in, he jumps around like crazy though! Here are some links:

Oh, and we're pretty sure he is starting to teethe!
