Happy Halloween!

This Is It

I'm very excited to see the movie today! Jack is so totally jealous!

He is rolling like a crazy man. It's hard to keep him on his back, it seems like the second I put him down he's rolled to his tummy. I don't think he wants to most of the time because when he's landed on his belly he looks surprised and a little upset.

He's started laughing a little more but it's not a daily thing yet.

He's been sleeping in his own room for about 2 weeks now and that's going okay. He still wakes up sometimes during the night but it's usually because he's looking for his pacifier.

Today was off to a rough start. Jack decided that 6am was a good time to get up. I'm totally out of it and then I fell down the basement stairs... awesome. I need a mountain dew!

Jack is rolling like a tumble weed! He rolled across about 4 feet of carpet! It was awesome!

laugh

Yesterday I was singing and dancing in a very silly/crazy manor while Jack watched. He was getting very excited and his smile kept getting bigger and bigger until finally he let out a giggle!! It was the greatest sound ever and it made me cry a little!

Jack laughed!

Sleep over

My sister has offered to take Jack Saturday night... all night. I'm excited that I'll have the opportunity to get some much needed sleep, but I'm terrified that I'll miss him so much that I make the 1 1/2 hour drive to her house in the middle of the night! I was very excited when I first decided to do this but now I'm having some major second thoughts... I'll keep ya posted.

We're Tired

Is it possible to die of exhaustion? Or at least go slightly mad? I thought that one Jack stopped needing to eat during the night that I would get a full night sleep... I was sadly mistaken. He still wakes up a few times during the night to cry, usually it's because he doesn't want to be sleeping where he's sleeping. If I can get to him while he's still just fussy he'll go right back to sleep. But if I'm too out of it to realize what's going on and he gets into cry mode I'm screwed because then I have to calm him down and then he'll either go back to sleep or ready to be awake. Jack also has a tag team partner. Once Jack has settled down and gone back to sleep our favorite orange cat is tagged in to continue Operation Don't Let Mommy and Daddy Sleep.

Jack was 12 weeks on Wednesday! Holy crap, that went by so fast but I'm defintely not sad about it. Those 12 weeks were pretty rough... okay, very rough. Jack was definitely not an easy baby at all. I'm so relieved that he's gotten much better and the three of us survived.

Jack is now able to roll from his belly to his back, he's been doing this for weeks. But he very recently started rolling from his back to his belly. He's smiling a lot which is the greatest thing in the world. Everytime I see that smile I want to cry, it just melts my heart.

I got him a little bouncy toy that looks like a horse. He thinks that's the greatest thing in the world! He can't seem to smile big enough when he's in that thing. I'll hopefully post pictures and videos of that soon! He's very good at holding his head up but he still gets tired after a little while.
