A week of R's
So I'm a little reluctant to say the first R word...routine. It seems as though we might be in one. Since last Tuesday, February 7th, Steven has slept through the night every night!!! He has woken up a couple of mornings before 7, but he usually just wants his pacifier. He goes to bed between 9 and 10 pm and sleeps til 7 or 7:30am. I'm really hoping this lasts. I credit it to the swaddle. Mike asked me yesterday when I thought we should start weening him off of it. I don't even want to think about that because he sleeps so well with it. During the day he has kind of a routine too. After his first feeding and playtime, he sleeps in his swing for about 2 hours, plenty of time for me to get showered and dressed. The rest of the day he eats and plays and takes little 30-45 minute naps. He is really developing quite a personality. He stays up longer, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours at a time, including feeding time. He loves playing on his play mat and loves the music and lights on it. He also loves to lay on a blanket and look up at the ceiling fan. He is definitely not a little baby. He likes to sit up facing away from you more than laying on his back. He likes to see what is going on and I swear he watches t.v.
The second "R" happened on, February 14th, Valentine's Day. Steven rolled over for the first time. I had him on his tummy and he was looking at a toy turtle and talking to it. I thought it was cute so I grabbed the video camera. Next thing I new he rolled over! I think I was just as surprised as he was. I turned off the camera, set him back on his belly and started recording again. Low and behold, he did it again. He rolled over 3 times in a row and I got it all on video. I was so excited to be able to show Mike and our parents. I hope I can get more of these important milestones on video. Thanks Mike and Shelley for the camera! I also took lots of Valentine's pictures, here are a few of them along with the video clips.
