I can roll over!!! I was wiggling around on my back Tuesday morning, and when mom came back from putting in a load of laundry, I was on my tummy. But then Wednesday she watched me do it a bunch more times, and this morning it was the first thing I did when she put me on my back. The only bad thing about it is that when I’m on my tummy I can’t play with my feet and toes, which I have just discovered. I can even pull off my own socks (well, only on the left side – mom is convinced I’m going to be left-handed).
Now that all of my toys are here and unpacked, I’ve been getting to experiment with lots of new things. I still like my little silver rattle best, but since I have teeth now I have been chewing on softer things. I am better at reaching out and grabbing what I want, and getting it into my mouth. I also really like music, and have been enjoying my activity saucer and Baby Einstein music box.
I still smile a lot, but I haven’t made my pouty face in about two weeks – that must have been a teething face. There may be more teeth coming though because I’m still drooling a lot, and sometimes I just make raspberry sounds with my tongue and end up spitting everywhere. I am still talking a lot, sometimes in two syllable “words,” but mom and dad don’t understand me yet. I am growing like a weed and now weigh about 15lbs, and am about 25 inches long. Plus, my fingernails are growing so fast that they have to be cut twice a week, especially since I like grabbing at mom and dad’s faces now.
I still don’t like to go to sleep on my own in my crib, but I am happily taking longer naps during the day. And I do really enjoy my bedtime stories, so I usually get two or three a night. That’s all I can think of now, but I’ll keep putting up pictures when I can!
