Rolling Right Along

It's been an uneventfully busy (is that an oxymoron?) few days around here. Jackson's daycare was closed Thursday & Friday so he and I had a 4-day weekend. It was fabulous. We didn't have anything big planned, but after 2 very busy weekends with family, I needed the catch up time. I got the house back in order, caught up on laundry, re-stocked the cupboards that had suddenly become quite bare, made a much needed Costco run, took Jackson to the Farmer's Market, did a little shopping (Jackson was the beneficiary this time) and had some quality time with my super fun little man. Basically, things are rolling right along. Which reminds me...

Jackson is rolling over! His first roll was at Holly's house a little over a week ago. He rolled from his tummy to his back. Holly knew how anxious we have been for him to roll, so she told me about it right away. (Even though she said she sometimes keeps those milestones to herself when they happen for the first time at daycare.) The next day, also at Holly's, he rolled from his back to his tummy. However, I had yet to witness it. It finally happened at home on Wednesday, May 27. I had just laid him on a blanket with his toys (on his back) and walked into the kitchen. I returned just a minute later to find him on his tummy. I immediately texted Holly and told her he rolled at home, but I missed it yet again! Later that night he finally did it for both Drew & I to see. He's rolled every day since. (And while I'm thrilled, as is true with most milestones I imagine, part of me is wondering why we were so anxious for him to become mobile!)

In other developmental news:

• Jack is sleeping through the night. Now that he is rolling, Drew & I are comfortable allowing tummy sleeping. He has slept through the night for several days in a row now.
• We added another cereal feeding. He now eats cereal twice a day - in the morning and evening.
• We plan to start solids later this week. I've been doing research for a couple of days now and have a pretty good idea of our game plan. I'll save the details for a future post.
• He is starting to make associations. For example, when Ruby shakes and her collar jingles, Jackson will scan the room looking for her. It is fascinating to watch him learn and grow. He is like a sponge right now!

Finally, because blog posts are always more interesting with photos attached, I'll close with a picture I snapped Saturday morning. Can you guess what had both boys' undivided attention?
