Rollin' and Sittin'

Our little tootsie is......ROLLING! Yes, we couldn't believe it either. He's been rolling around this past week, but today he officially rolled over (did it more than a couple times in a row) and did it about 20 times in a row! He actually did it enough that I had time to pull out the video camera and get him flipping from his stomach to his back. He definitely prefers to be on his back rather than his stomach. Jr has been rolling to his side the past couple weeks, but now finds it fun to roll from his back to his side and back again. And if he's rolled onto his tummy, he'll roll himself to his back. It was so much fun playing with him tonight and watching him experiencing rolling over for the first time.

Our little man can also sit up. He can sit for about 3 seconds by himself, but if he tripods himself with his arm he can sit for 5 mins or so. Jr loves to sit up and see everything and especially likes if you put his toys between his legs so he can sit and play with them.

Everything continues to go in the mouth. Jr will even sit up in his high chair, get his mouth on his tray and suck. He definitely likes to eat and play; what a true boy!

We finally have a new little routine down. Up at 8, eat, play, (at 10)nap for 45min to and hr, play, eat at noon, play, nap (at 2 for about 45min- hr), play, eat at 4, play, catnap (6ish), play, bath at 7 or 8 (depends on if he takes a catnap in the evening or not), bottle, then bed. The past two nights Jr hasn't taken a catnap in the evening so we just put him to bed at 8 instead of 9. Last night he slept 12 hrs straight! It was awesome! I love that he sleeps so well at night and can handle him not sleeping so much during the day. He's so happy when he wakes up from his nap, unless of course we leave him in his crib too long. A and I really wanted him to sleep a little longer during the day, but he apparently doesn't need as much sleep as we thought. Jr gets more upset if we try to keep him down for a nap and is apparently rested enough that he's happy as can be throughout the rest of the day. The past couple days have been great and it's such a blessing to have a happy and content baby all day long.
