Really looking forward to that first smile
Owen rolled over tonight.
Ok, so I don't think I have some baby prodigy. I'm not even going to count this as officially rolling over, since he did it while he was on the couch, so there was probably some helpful slant. But still. The kid already has the strongest neck muscles of any newborn I've seen. It does mean that I probably shouldn't put him down to nap on on the couch anymore, which kind of sucks 'cause it's so convenient. And also, he's less likely (although not completely safe from) to be stepped on by a big sister.
Last night sucked pretty hard. Owen woke up every time I put him down in the pack'n'play. In just the few days he's slept in there, I've gotten spoiled. While he was in there, he would grunt and squirm and fart and then get quiet, so I never knew if he was waking up or falling asleep. Rex finally took him for an hour or so and got him to go to sleep (eventually) and I was smart and just let him sleep on me for the rest of the morning. That hour or so was the only solid block of sleep I got last night.
He also has a pretty regular fussy period every evening after dinner. I'd say from 6 or 7 until 9 or so. The upside is that he tends toward sleep during the making and eating of dinner. The downside is that there's just about nothing that really calms him down until he's good and ready to be soothed.
