The big news of the last week is that you have finally rolled over! Once. On mommy and daddy’s soft bed. But still, it was a roll. And you did it! We’ll see if you attempt a repeat performance any time soon or if you’re content with having checked that off the list for now.
Also during the past week, you have developed a new sound. Normally I’m excited about your new noises and coos, but with this new shrill you’re trying to see if you can actually break glass just by using your vocal chords. Let me tell you, buddy, you can’t. So, if you’d kindly stop trying, your mommy and daddy’s ears would greatly appreciate it. Because we’d actually like to have use of our ears so we can hear you for the rest of your life. And our lives too for that matter.
We had to make a transition last week from bathing you in your infant tub in the sink to bathing you in your infant tub in the bathtub. You continue to love your baths but you love to kick so much that you were turning our kitchen into a splash zone. So now you can kick until your heart’s content and the water stays in the bathtub.
Our refrigerator door's art collection is growing, thanks to your projects from school. Several of them feature your pictures as you are making the art and if your facial expressions are any indication of how much you're enjoying the projects, you're not going to be the next Picasso. But we love each of the pieces and admire them daily.
At the risk of upsetting the sleeping gods, I’m going to tell you a bit about your sleeping patterns (while crossing my fingers that I’m not jinxing anything). You continue to go to bed so early, often by 6:30 and mommy’s stretching you for you to stay up that late. This is due, in part, to the fact that you don’t like taking naps for fear that you might miss something that’s going on during the day. You sleep from 6:30 to midnight or 1:00, when you wake up to eat. Then you go back to sleep. Lately you’ve been waking up in the 5:00 hour, which mommy and daddy are trying desperately to get you to change. You always wake up such as happy baby, smiling from ear to ear when we come in to get you.
Speaking of those smiles, your belly laughs are more and more frequent these days and there isn’t a better feeling than making you laugh. We can get you to laugh now with just noises or silly looks and it’s so much fun.
I told your daddy this week that I find myself smiling all of the time in your presence…you bring such joy to our lives.
Love,
Mommy
