This week Aidan rolled over for the first time! On Tuesday he was doing tummy time with Daddy and lost his balance and fell over - all the way! He repeated the performance while reaching for a toy with Mommy on Thursday twice, and we got the second one on tape so you can see it too! He has also started to pivot on his stomach, turning up to 90 degrees in either direction to reach for his crackly ball that Daddy rolls to him. He is really at the beginning stages of being mobile!
He is also doing better with his bed: last night he slept for 4 straight hours in his bed without a peep (8:30PM-12:30AM). This was a drastic improvement from earlier in the week, when he was waking progressively (digressingly?) more and more (from 4 hours in his swing, to 2 hours in his bed, then 1 hour, then 30 minutes!!!). We hope that it means that our efforts to teach him to self-sooth without crying are starting to work!
We also have been having fun stretching out Christmas. Mommy decorated the house and has been singing Christmas carols rather than rounds of "the wheels on the bus" to put Aidan to sleep, we're opening a different present from Grandma Ross every day until we get to the bottom of the big box (he loves the singing flowers at the moment), and we opened presents with Grandma and Grandpa Ruane who drove up to visit this weekend (Aidan especially loved his stuffed Elmo). We hope you are enjoying the holiday season! If you need a Christmas boost, check out our family elf dance - silly but fun!
