I've been having a pretty good week. We were really busy and made a few trips to Fort Wayne this past week, but it has been nice being at home. I've been on the floor a lot working on rolling over. I still can't make it all of the way, but I get up on my side regularly. The other day I was in my crib and I pulled myself over with the crib rails. Mom said it was a good try, but it was cheating...(whatever!)
Speaking of the crib...Dr. Barb had to open his big mouth and tell mom that I am old enough to sleep through the night, and she should start letting me fuss and cry until I fall asleep. I guess if I put myself to sleep I can get back to sleep if I wake up during the night. Mom and I have been working on this. Sometimes she gives in and nurses me until I'm (almost) asleep. She has also been wrapping up my body and legs in a blanket. We don't have any of the sleep sacks for my big size, but this technique makes me more cozy and secure. Last night I even slept from 8:30 to 7 am!!
I've also been trying applesauce/rice mixtures this past week. I eat a serving in the morning and one for dinner. Sometimes I don't eat very much and sometimes I eat a tablespoon or two. Mom usually has to do all sorts of goofy things to get me to open my mouth. I don't really do very good at opening it for the spoon yet. Today I got to try some sweet potatoes. Those were really good too.
Here is a picture of my chub...
Today I got to meet my great grandpa from Florida. He held me for a while and then I took a nap in my car seat while we drove him to see the farm. It was fun meeting him for the first time.
Tomorrow is Papa's birthday so we're heading to Fort Wayne again!!! I'm getting tired of the car trips, but I usually sleep anyway. It's all worth the extra attention though!
