Hey, it's Jess. This is my first posting so bear with me.Where do I start? Waylon is getting SO big! Since our last post he has started sleeping through the night, moved into his own room, and is rolling over.
Way started sleeping through the night when he was 10 days short of 3 months. Your thinking "Jess, how can you be so specific?!" Well, Dave and I were talking and decided when Way was sleeping through the night we would move him into his own room. Sometime around September 11th he did it....he slept through the night, and boy did that scare the crap out me. I was up almost every hour checking to see if he was still breathing. Dave then reminded me what we had agreed on. Needless to say, I wasn't quite ready to move my baby so far away from me during the night...20 feet is a long way when you are a new mother. So we made a new agreement, when Way is 3 months old he will move to his own room....10 days. September 21st, 2007 Waylon slept in his own room for the first time...he definitely dealt with the transition better than I did. :)
Two weeks ago, I worked all weekend on teaching Way to roll over. I felt like I was training Floyd all over again... "Roll over...Roll over...if you roll over I'll give you a treat. " (Side bar - Floyd never learned to roll over.) By Sunday I had given up, fully convinced that next weekend was going to be it ... he was so close. That night I put Way to bed on his back, I went and checked on him before I went to bed and he was on his belly. I put him on his back again and went to bed. The next morning I went wake him up and he was on his belly again!!! That little sneak...he was teaching himself how to roll over...in his sleep!!! Now he's a regular rolly polly!
We bought him an exisaucer which he just loves the poop out of. The way he chews on all the toys on it ... I know teeth are coming soon.
Below is a link to our family pictures we had taken:
There are more new pictures in the photo album. I will put more up next weekend in his Halloween costume.
Thanks for bearing with me. I know I don't write as eloquent as Dave, but now that I know what I am doing I will keep up with the blog better.
