You've made so much progress over the last two weeks! I feel like I say that a lot, but you're learning new things almost daily and it's been a delight to see what you'll do next.
Lately, you've been a rolling over fool. And by fool I mean you've rolled over a handful of times, including now from your stomach to your back. While you know you can do it, you remain most content on your back.
You are also getting closer and closer to sitting up. Your head, neck and back are strong enough to stay aligned for up to about a minute, but then you emulate Humpty Dumpty and come crashing down. We practice sitting up on mommy and daddy's bed so that you have a soft place to land.
When daddy came home from work on Friday we were practicing sitting up and when he walked into the room, you couldn't contain your excitement. You began kicking your legs and flailing your arms and grinning ear to ear. It's neat to see you react that way to your daddy...although it wouldn't be so bad if you threw a little bit of that excitement your mom's way every once in awhile. Maybe in gratitude for me sustaining your life for the last almost six months?? I'm just sayin'.
We used our jogging stroller with you for the first time last week. In the stroller, you faced forward for the first time and you loved looking outward. We also went to our neighborhood park and pushed you in the infant swing for the first time. You were all smiles as you swung outdoors...it's a combination of your two favorite things: swinging and being outside. We had to use a few blankets to wedge you in there, but you didn't care.
You also met your first mascot last weekend. We went to our local Academy (a sports store) and there happened to be several Astros players signing autographs. Junction Jack, their mascot, took a special liking to you and spent time interacting with you. He even signed his autograph just for you! You, on the other hand, paid no attention to Junction Jack.
One day last week your daddy came into the bathroom with his guitar while I was giving you a bath and played you a few songs. You continue to love music and you were so happy in that moment. I paused and took a mental snapshot...life could have frozen in that moment and I wouldn't have been more content.
Love,
Mommy
