SuperCork: Roley Poley Sleeping Baby!

Sunday, February 24, 2008

So, two big updates on the Ethan front… first, on Thursday of this week Ethan officially mastered the roll over from back to front. It's pretty wild says Leann…. On Tuesday he was clueless (he had rolled over twice to date but only when he was angry), we worked with him on Tuesday night but couldn't seem to get the concept that he needed to first put his arm above his head so it didn't get in his way. We helped him roll over several times by putting his arm up for him. Then on Thursday night when Leann sat down to practice again and video tape him he quickly put his arm up and boom… he rolled over, just like that! Once he had the technique down he was unstoppable! It's going to be hard getting him to stay on his tummy now! We've got some great video footage of Ethan rolling over that I'll post here shortly.

On the second front Ethan has given daddy, and most importantly, Mommy two great nights of sleep! On Friday night (exactly one week after we put him up in his own room), Ethan slept through the night for the first time! Leann fed him last at 11:30pm and aside from a giggling dragon toy that went off at 5am on it's own in his room all remained quiet on the baby monitor! In fact Ethan managed to sleep in until 7:30am on Saturday morning…. a full 8 hours! We had a big day yesterday going to a parade and then shopping with Leann and Diana, followed by a dinner and Movie at Dad's house. We got him home and into his own bed at 11pm and again he slept until 7am this morning!

So that's the skinny for now. Today Dad and Diana came down to watch him so that we could spend some time doing taxes and taking care of some things around the house. Look for pictures and video again here soon!
