Hello

Now whenever I lay Pete down on his back he rolls over to his tummy. Here is a picture of him this morning hanging out in his new favorite position. It's a continuous cycle now of laying him down on his back, he rolls over, hangs out until he gets tired, gets fussy and I roll him back over. He rolls over, hangs out, gets tired, gets fussy, I roll him back over. I can feel his desire to move more. He is stronger and more squirmy like he wants to get down and walk. I don't think I am ready for this change. I like the content little boy who just wants to lay in mommy's arms all day. But I like this too. I am proud of him and can't wait to see what he does next. Today I was showing him an emery board and laid it in his hands. He tried to put it in his mouth. He hasn't actually grabbed something or tried to grab for something on his own yet but I am thinking that is the next thing he will do. Well, better try to get something done while he is down for his half hour nap. Pete never naps longer than 30 minutes, unless I am holding him. Not sure what it is but he wakes up after a half hour every time I put him down. I have tried everything to get him to nap longer. No noise, more noise, cooler, warmer, swaddle, no swaddle, couch, floor, crib, our bed, after feeding, before feeding, when he is awake, when he is tired, music, pacifier, no pacifier, everything. No matter what I do I get a half hour. Gotta go. Much love!
