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 trying to teach you. Learning how to sleep in the bed on you're on. You're our little champ.

As I write this having woken up at 3:30am for a feeding, I just want to kiss your angelic sleeping face and holding your hand forever. My precious little son, I love you.
