Let me see that tootsee roll!!

Yay!!!!!! Jacob rolled over this morning not once but TWICE! Of course you'd think I would have had the camera ready for the second time but I just sat here in awe. Brian was trying to hold on to him but he was squirming all over the place, so Brian put him on his belly and the next thing you know Jacob was on his back. I was like whaa?????? Brian picked him up and put him back down on his belly. Jacob didn't like that too much and within seconds was on his back again. The look on his face was priceless. Sort of dazed and confused, like whoahhh what just happened?

Jacob is able to hold on to things now. He especially likes mommy's hair. I didn't realize babies could be so strong. Not only is my hair falling out from hormones but also from Jacob pulling on it. I'm going to be bald before I reach 35. If the toy he's holding on to is light enough, he sometimes can give it a toss, though I doubt he realizes what he's doing.

He is sleeping through the night in his crib. He started sleeping through the night on Thanksgiving. We thought he was tuckered out from all the excitement of the day but then he did it again the next night and the next and the next. We broke down and put him in his crib Dec 30th. The only person who didn't sleep through the night was mommy. Even with the video monitor AND the sound monitor right next to my bed. Yup, I have to have 2 monitors on all night long, just in case one goes on the fritz, then I've got a back up. You'd think his room was on the other side of the county. Nope, his room and our room share a wall. When he cries I hear it in stereo.

Other news: I have made my goal of pumping breast milk for 3 months, new goal is to make it to 6 months. My supply is still going strong and Jacob is now eating 5oz every 3-4 hours (except overnight), he's in size 2 diapers (he wears those for Dad at night and on the weekends, Mom uses cloth during the day). He's almost outgrown his 3 mos pj's. We suspect Jacob is in the early stages of teething the way he chews on everything in sight and bathes himself in drool. The other day we saw real tears for the first time. Out of the blue he started crying, I'm talking red faced, howling, eyes welling up with tears crying. We're not sure what happened and as quickly as it started, it was over.

Stay tuned we have another video coming. I just have to decide which one I want to add, we have so many now. Hopefully I can catch him rolling too!
