Rolling

My sweet little Victor is making moves. When dad was picking and we were sitting in the bed, Victor was practicing is leg kicks that he's been doing for weeks now. Usually the leg kicks were the pack and play touching the mesh siding. But this time around, the kicks were so forceful that one sent Victor over onto his stomach. The very first back-to-front roll!! We were so excited and applauding. Your little face was beaming reflecting our joy. We've also been working on fall asleep on your own. I've been waiting for a yawn or eye rub signal to get you ready for naps. I wrap you up in a swaddle, which you've already connected to the imminent beginning of nap time because you scream in protest. But once you're in bed, I begin singing to you while you're actively trying to sleep. The only song that has been successful at putting you to sleep is the shark song. So the shark song, it is! My sweet child, you've been so good at catching onto what we are try...

Toe touch

A couple of days again, Victor started touching both feet with both hands! Hooray! This morning you were so close to bringing your foot up to your mouth. Not that you were trying for that but you were right there and got distracted while daddy was cheering you on with his camera haha. In other news, you rolled over for the first time today!! It was completely by accident, but we will take it. Hehe Mommy and you were doing typical tummy time. Mommy put you on your belly and you were not having it. You were whining and fussing. Mommy was doing her hair up into a bun while you put your head down and miraculously turned over onto your back. I think you were as surprised as we were!! We couldn't duplicate it, but we know that you have the muscles to do it. It's just a matter of coordination ;) We are so proud of you, love 💕

Perfect toe toucher

Mommy and daddy had mommy's teacher friends over for our regular game night. Instead, daddy had the idea to make it an afternoon version so we could host at our place while tending to victor's nap schedule. It was officially your first party. The noise and laughter were not something you were used to and you cried out when you heard daddy use his outside laughter and voice. People wanted to hold you and cuddle. For the most part, you liked the women, but you cried here and there when it got confusing when you saw daddy but he wasn't holding you. In the last week, you went from gracing your toes with your finger tips un your car seat, to your left hand grabbing your toes while lying flat on your back. My little cutie!

Long sleep

We all visited mommy and daddy's friends last night. Kristine and Tony are expecting their little boy in October 2019! Friends for Victor! All night long, you were happy and smiling and enjoying the conversation. I think you might be a little extrovert like your mommy. You even skipped your evening nap in lieu of getting held by Tony. After feeding you in their baby's nursery, daddy was responsible for burping you. He was raising you up and down to entertain you. I told him not to jostle you too much because you may throw up. Within 5 minutes, you threw up more than I had ever seen you do before. It was all over you, all over daddy's shorts and legs, on the floor and carpet. I wasn't sure the burp cloth would be enough to pick it all up. On the way to our friends' house and on the way home, we reintroduced the binkie and you passed out immediately in the car ride. Daddy wanted you to use it since you were 2 weeks old, but I was apprehensive that it might...

Baby shark

Victor, daddy, and I went to TJ maxx for baby-related items. Daddy wanted to get another diaper genie, but for the downstairs because it's becoming a bit stinky in the living room where we have the second changing area. I'm not so keen on keeping more junk in the house. Baby Victor enjoyed himself while being strolled to Dunkin' Donuts and while mommy and dad had a beverage. We knew we were on borrowed time as we inched closer to the 2-hour mark since your last nap. So we rushed home bracing ourselves for the imminent screams ahead. However, mommy started singing Baby Shark in silly voices long enough to distract you to sleep. With success! You were passed out in your car seat and daddy strolled you into the house while mommy gathered all the purchases. You slept like an angel for about 45 minutes. When you woke up, we fed you and played and talked to you. Then all of the sudden you started giggling uncontrollably. It was the first time that we've heard you...

First message

Hello family, I am testing this idea out where I journal a bit about everyday occurrences that are electronic instead of in a paper journal, which could get lost or disappear. Also, if we have more kids than just Victor, everyone gets a copy of mommy's thoughts. No fighting over this diary. Haha Well as I'm writing first entry, I'm holding sleeping Victor who has spent the day talking so much!! Well babble is the more correct term, but nonetheless, communication is on the horizon. He even held his little fist out to give daddy a fist bump. Several times!! Now that can't be a coincidence hehe Mommy worked on her YouTube channel this morning while daddy watched Victor. Daddy gets a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants lesson on what mommy does on a daily basis. Haha So far, Victor has an uncanny ability to prefer mommy's style of putting down for nap than daddy's and he makes his preference known. Very loudly. It isn't a little rejection. It's an all ou...
