Milestones 2

I know I made a "Milestones" post earlier today, but there needs to be another milestone post. I just want to brag on my baby boy for just a wee-minute.... James had a FABULOUS day today.

James went down amazingly for every nap, and slept until I woke him up to feed (still on a 3 hr routine). For every nap I did our routine, I swaddled him up, sang him our song and laid him down wide awake and he was happy, and didn't even let out a whimper. He fell asleep and finally did not cry at the 45 minute mark (Last week was a tough week... For every. single. nap. my poor little boy woke up after 45 minutes, crying. I tried everything - paci, shushing, etc, nothing worked... but today... was aaaaaaahmazing!).

The only time he cried during nap time was when I laid him down at my parent's loft for his late afternoon nap... I was showing some property we have for rent connected to my parents' loft and so mom kept James while I did my thing. When I was finished, mom decided to go to the grocery store for a couple things. Well, right when she opened the door the interior doorbell rang and Max (Hunter's old dog, now Grandmommy's dog and now that Grandmommy is in rehab for a fall that happened a couple weeks ago - Sandra is keeping him and since she is at the beach this week, mom has him - whew! long story, aye?) .... back to my story - Max decided to BARK! BARK! BARK! My poor baby boy started screaming, so I ran and got him, settled him down, paci'd it up and he went right back down.

Today was such a great day with my little boy. I was a little nervous about it since Daddy is yet again in Atlanta, but since the day went so great - it is a-okay.

Also, since James is getting a little bigger and on a pretty solid schedule -- we're planning on taking a trip with daddy up to Atlanta for James' first hotel stay. This should be interesting! :)

Oh and another half-milestone -- James is *almost* rolling over.... keyword - almost... He was almost there today, I decided to video tape it, just in case.... This is what I got - please be sure to mute your computer so that you don't hear my obnoxious "I'm talking to my baby voice"... Also - be sure to take notice the straight "buzz" across the back of my little guy's head. He has rubbed a straight line across the back of his head. I sent this video to Jimmy earlier today and he called him his "balding-mullet-haired boy".... :)

Loving life....
