Big Day For Andrew

This morning I got up and did the usual and walked over to Andrew's crib, scooped him up and took him downstairs to eat. Except he wasn't in the spot I layed him at last night. He had done a complete 180 and his head was down where his feet usually are. This left me completely dumbfounded as he's never done this before! I'm not sure why I was surprised as he's famous for being a wiggle worm but it did leave we scratching my head for some reason. These children of mine are sure growing up quickly!

After taking Aubrey to school, I layed him down in the living room for some tummy time. Oh yeah. He's loves that just as much as he does having a poopy diaper! Not one bit! But he suffers through it beautifully before getting tired and conking out for an hour or so. THIS time though, he was crying instead of whining. I walked over to where he was to find that he was pushing up with left leg and from what I could see: trying to ROLL OVER. Just one tiny problem was keeping him from this achievement. His arm. He had his right arm straight out instead of up by his head so when he was pushing back, he wasn't able to roll with his arm behind him. I helped him do a few practice rolls, which made him giggle at every attempt. I can tell he really wants to master this but just like most things in life, it's going to take a little time to get good at it. Be on the look out. He doesn't seem very patient with this task and may just end up surprising us all with a roll or two in the next few weeks. I'll have the camera ready! (And if nobody believes me, just as my hubby. He makes fun of me all the time for taking a lot of the kids pictures. And I do mean A LOT! Someone's got to, right? I guess I could back off a little though. It's not a promise, but I'll try.)

Last night was a big deal for Andrew. He ate rice cereal for the FIRST time! Seriously. Where has the time gone? He's growing up so fast! To recap on his cereal adventure, he did NOT enjoy this experience whatsoever. His hands were flailing all over the place making it super hard to get the baby spoon into his mouth. Maybe it was a ploy? Nah. Can't give him THAT much credit yet. I could tell he was thinking after I gave him the first bite though. Very serious look on his face like, "Hmm. This is new. It's not good, but it's new!" A few more bites and he started doing the repulsive shakes and gagging noises that I interpreted as him saying, "this is DISGUSTING!" A few more bites and we called it quits. But for this being his first time eating rice cereal, he did really well and ate about half of what I made him. Go Andrew! :)

And then of course, there was clean up.

Just in time for BED.

P.S. Someone please tell me where my newborn went. I swear he was just here a few days ago...
