Change is Coming

Today was a big day.  Conrad rolled over on his own three times in a row.  We haven't really pushed him on tummy time and so he really hasn't been moving toward rolling over much.  I have seen him in his crib almost rolling over reaching around while he cries so I knew he had it in him he just never was really doing it for us and tonight it happened and once it did it was like no big deal for him to do it again and again.  He wants to pull toward things so badly. If there is something there for him to push off of he will.  He reaches for things or does the arch his back and shimmy around sort of moves to get where he wants to be.  I am excited that he is growing up so much but miss my baby and know with this moving around comes much more running after him stopping him from getting into everything.

Sleeping is better, much better, but he still baffles me sometimes.  Like last night he woke at 12:30 then 5:00 which was okay because he went back to sleep for the long periods between, but he has still been waking about an hour after we put him down and crying - he is doing this right now.  Then at 12:30 after I changed him and fed him, he seemed settled down then he started crying again and cried for about a half an hour.  He did the same at 5 until he finally went back to sleep and then I had to wake him to take him to daycare.  Why is he crying like this?  Argghhh!  I think we went backwards a little because he has been sick.  He is doing better but still has a bit of a cough he is finishing up.  Hopefully that will clear up and he can be well for a little while again.  That would help.  Daycare is a bed of sickness we just can't seem to get away from though.

We are eating green beans and tonight tried peas.  We have tried yams and carrots but those seemed too sweet and not his favorite.  We will come back to them sometime.  The eating seems somewhat slow going as sometimes we seem to not get him when he is hungry so we aren't that successful, but we are trying.

6 month appointment in just a couple of weeks.  I can't wait to see how much he weights and how tall.  We went car seat shopping this weekend trying to get the next stage, but there are so may options it is hard to know which is best and which will fit in the car best.  Ultimately we will need one for our car and one for Kris' truck too.  We didn't get one and decide to do more researching and thinking of what will be best.  We have a little time still, well I hope Mr. man is not 22 pounds already.
