Changes

Hey Punkin! Sorry it's been a while, but it's been a little crazy at bedtime around our house, and Mommy has just been too tired to update! But I've found a few minutes to let you know what's been going on in February.
First off, we've gotten rid of the swaddler. I didn't think you could possible sleep without it, but when I found rolled over on your tummy still wrapped up in the swaddler, I decided it was time whether you wanted to or not. It's just not safe at all for you to rolling around with your arms still wrapped up!! The first night was a little hard, but once you rolled over to your tummy, it was all good! You're really not supposed to sleep on your tummy until you're 1, but if you roll over on your own, it's supposedly OK. I do start you off on your back (most times!), but I also give you a little help rolling over (don't tell anyone!). You just sleep so much better on your tummy!!!
You're eating all kinds of baby food now. It's so funny when you're in your high chair because Ryan loves to bring you your toys. And not just one toy - like a BUNCH of toys! But it doesn't seem to bother you at all!
On this particular day (which was actually Valentine's Day), you must have had a big day at school, because you fell asleep in your high chair!! Poor guy!!
The weekend after Valentine's, Emme and Papa came to visit. They just wanted to come up and see you guys. We didn't do anything too exciting, but they did watch you and Ryan while Mommy and Daddy had to work on President's Day, so that was nice to have babysitters!! We did get to show Emme and Papa how you are trying to crawl! You want to so bad, and you can get to your hands and knees but instead of making forward progress, you scoot backwards! But hey, it's movement!!
Towards the end of February, we got some unfortunate news that your teacher Miss Jennifer was let go. That's so sad to me because she was Ryan's teacher and your teacher, and she was so sweet to you guys, but I just don't think her heart was in it anymore. So you have a new teacher now, Miss Abby, and she adores you!! She and Miss Rachel fight over you all the time!! I totally understand how they can though, cause you're so stinkin' cute!!!!
At the end of February, KK and Granddaddy came up so your dad and I could go to a wine tasting and have an adult night!!! You got to spend a lot of time with your cousin Grant too because EP's niece Emmeline was born premature so she spent a lot of time at the hospital that weekend. It definitely makes me appreciate how lucky we are to have such healthy boys!
You and Ryan got to do a first that weekend, you took a bath together!!! You both did great. You LOVE splashing and playing with the cups and Ryan was really excited to take a bath with you! This will make things a lot easier in the future when I don't have to give 2 baths! I'm all about easy these days!!!
I think that wraps up February. I'll try to do better about updating, but it all depends on how guys sleep, so it's up to you to help me out!!! Until next time, Kiss Kiss from Mommy!
