Sleep is still the biggest thing going on (or not going on) around here, but I’m tired (ha ha) of talking about it. So let’s talk about something else!
We’ve been going on lots of hikes/walks with Jack, usually with him in the Bjorn. I’ve been putting him front-facing when we’re around the house or in the yard, but for bigger trips he’s still facing in. On Sunday we went to the Yahoo! picnic at the San Mateo County Fairgrounds, where the theme was dinosaurs. Chris had Jack in the Bjorn and he slept through a lot of it.
Jack is still pretty sociable; if someone else is holding him and walking him around he’s pretty happy. He likes to be out and about. When I take him to the grocery store, I put him in the sling and he’s a happy camper. He used to sleep in there but now he sits up and looks at everything.
He gets excited when we put him in the car seat because he knows he’s going somewhere. He used to always sleep in the car, but now he stays awake sometimes and looks out the window. When he sees me looking at him in the mirror (we have one in the back so we can see him in the rearview mirror) he gives me a big smile.
He’s rolling from front to back like a champ, and will roll to his side if you hold his hand or if he grabs a toy. He is reaching out to books when I read to him, and sometimes ends up turning the pages (an accident no doubt, but still fun).
He’s started to outgrow some of his clothes (including my favorite outfit, sob!) but that means he’s wearing some of his 3-6 month clothes, which are also very cute.
He’s full of smiles.
