Time for an update

Wow! Sorry for the delay...
Daniel is now 11 weeks!!! Where has the time gone?!
At his last check-up (beginning of August), he weighed 10 lbs, 15 oz. I am sure by now he is well over 11 lbs. In August, we had the pleasure of having Eddie's mom & sister come to visit us for 2 weeks. Daniel loved his abuelita & tia. It was so nice to see them again. Eddie's mom cooked some fantastic Mexican food for us while she was here.
Also in August, I returned to work. This was hard since I would really just love to be with our little boy, but I am doing okay. I am so thankful to have Eddie stay home with him. Eddie is doing great taking care of Daniel during the week. They have really bonded so much :)
As for what Daniel is doing now...
He is pulling himself up to the sitting position (when holding someone's fingers). He is beginning to try and stand up this way as well. He is extremely strong, it seems. He likes to "stand up" (while being supported of course), he is holding his head up very high when on his tummy. This past week, during "tummy time", he managed to roll from his tummy to back!! He seemed to be thinking "Wow, how did that happen?!" He loves to coo and make cute little "talking" noises at both of us. Eddie does a lot of playtime & funny sounds, which Daniel really likes (but only from his daddy). Daniel "talks" to me more, according to Eddie. He also likes to "jump", meaning we hold him and tap his feet to a surface & he responds by straightening his legs then bending his knees as if he's jumping.
We are doing well and adjusting to each change that comes along. Eddie continues to look for a job, but meanwhile we are glad that he gets this special time to bond with Daniel.
I am going to try to keep this more updated now, so hopefully more within the next couple weeks :)
