Well our little boy is growing up (sniff, sniff). This week he really started rolling over. In fact one morning he found the phone charger cord (we have now corrected that situation) and dad's shoes all at the same time. Today he rolled under a table and looked very confused. He can also stay sitting up for a while by himself (if you prop him up to start with). As a result of all this movement we decided it was time to up our babyproofing efforts (as I notice the remote control in easy grabbing distance on the floor). So we bought a fence - to fence us in. Basically instead of trying to really clean up our computer area we decided to fence ourselves in. We have already resigned ourselves to the fact that one of us will do a faceplant at some point when we try to step over the baby fence. The little one has noticed it and isn't quite sure what to make of it. So far he just rolls the other way and kind of looks at us strangely.
On another front today we tried AGAIN to see if he would take water from a sippy cup. As my husband says the only things he won't suck on are a bottle, sippy cup and pacifier. Well today he did actually drink a little water - although he seemed very confused and there was some sputtering involved. Drinking water is really in preparation for the introduction of SOLID FOODS. Our little one is actually pretty big (he is five and half months and about 18 pounds) and he is getting hungry more frequently (in part because of all his rolling around) so the time has come to introduce him to rice cereal. If I am up to it- this might happen as early as tomorrow. Of course I missed church today because he sort of threw up this morning so maybe we should wait a little longer. He was fine the rest of the day and we both had a nice morning nap as a result. Actually he slept a lot today - this is the first day we haven't been out somewhere in about a week - I think. So we took a Sabbath rest and it was very good.
