Rolling with the homies...

He did it. He rolled! I knew it was coming- the Dr said that we should start watching for it around 3 months but Justin is SO strong, I just knew it would be any day. Jody and I were in the living room talking and Justin was on his tummy on his ocean mat. All of the sudden...over he went. It was too adorable, he went in like slow motion and then he looked so surprised when he "landed" on his back.

Also, we set up his bouncer- which he seems to like quite a bit.


In other big news- he has started napping in his "big boy" crib. I want to move him out of his bassinet and into the crib for the nights around 3 months- so I'm trying to ease him into it. He looks like such a tiny peanut in there.


In other (non Justin) big news, my proposal to go back to Girl Scouts part time was denied. They decided that the position can not be done effectively part time- it's their new policy. I have to agree that it is definitely a full time type of job. I'm happy because this means I truly am a stay at home mom, not that I haven't been for 10 weeks already, lol. I'm just nervous because of the stupid economy and the fact that my "baby savings" will run out faster than I'd like. Anyone know of a good part time job?

Off the charts...

Today was Justin's 2 month appt. His growth was off the charts (above the 97th percentile)for his weight and height. He is 25 inches tall and 14lbs. My big man! I am so happy and proud b/c I always get nervous I'm not making enough milk to feed him. Looks like he's eating just fine =) He had to get 4 shots/vaccines today and 1 oral vaccine. Thank God Jody took the day off. He stayed in the room for the shots while I stepped outside (and quietly cried a little). I HATE HATE shots. Justin only cried for a minute then he was all smiles, sucking on his hand. He's such a good boy.

Laughing at mommy...

We've been trying to catch the little guy's "laugh" on video for a few days now...until last night, yay! He's been quite talkative lately so he fits in great in this house =) His laugh is around :51 in case you don't want to watch all 2 and a half minutes.

Baby got back

I had to move the little guy up to size 2 diapers today. I always joke that he has a big bum, but in all seriousness he's getting big sooo fast =(

Happy 2009!

Ok, so I'm a little late. Things have been going really great with baby Justin. He has the sweetest little personality. He's been sleeping through the night for about 3 weeks now. He usually sleeps 6 1/2-8 hours. That's perfect for me, I couldn't be happier. He's really found his little voice the past 2 weeks- making lots of little coos and ahhs. He also has started reaching for/hitting toys that dangle above him. I know it's early for him to laugh but he does this thing when he's smiling super big sometimes that's like a wheezy/gaspy inhale that sounds like a laugh to me. Jake and his gf Sara set up his Ocean Wonders gym- wow. I TOTALLY recommend this to anyone, it's by Baby Einstein. Justin has pretty much lost interest in his swing and bouncer but he totally loses his mind for this mat. We lay him on it with the lights/music on and he goes nuts. He smiles with wide eyes and coos (kinda yells, lol). He kicks his little feet up in the air to the music. It's so nice for me to have something to entertain him. Thank you Baby Einstein for non-soggy cereal for the first time in weeks!
