The baby has allegedly rolled over before while no one was looking. Tonight, though, he did it for us! Because, at this point, rolling over is slow. I was able to take pictures at each step of the way. He actually prefers being on his side, but he was pretty proud of himself for rolling onto his stomach. It won't be long now before our lives change again with his increased mobility.

Weekend Update - A Whole Lot of Nothing
Last weekend, there was a lot of nothing. I don't remember Friday, but I'm sure it involved dinner, food and bed.
On Saturday, Husband woke up with Baby and then went to be in an informal golf tournament. So, Baby and I hung out. He wanted nothing to do with a nap which was unfortunate. So, we watched a bit of Doctor Who together. After lunch, we went to the mall where I bought him a few outfits and some for next year - big sale and one-day coupon. We picked up Little Miss after her long vacation with my family, hit the grocery store and headed home. Husband met us as soon as we got home. We had dinner, did laundry and I watched a lot of tv - premiere of Doctor Who and The Outlander. I got full control of the television which was exciting.
On Sunday, we packed up Little Miss to go on vacation for a week with the in-laws. Then, we did a lot more of nothing. We took a morning nap which was glorious. I surfed the internet. Then, because I forgot something at the store, I had to leave and run errands. I did defrost dinner so that was done at least, just had to throw it into the crock-pot. We made the chicken teriyaki that I made while pregnant over some jasmine rice, snow peas and some potstickers from Trader Joe's. It was all super easy considering almost all of it came from the freezer. It may not be the most healthy, but it wasn't bad and really easy. Sunday night, we watched the MTV video awards. Our household has been way to into pop music lately. It's ridiculously scary, but it's been a fun time. There's been a lot of dancing.

Honestly Isn't Always the Best Policy
Little Miss was on vacation for 10 days with my family in Maine. About halfway through the week, Husband was talking to her and asked if she missed him. She said no. Based on our reactions, she felt bad and took it back.
When she got home, I told her I missed her. She said she missed me, too. Then, just to make sure my ego didn't get too big, she said, "But I missed Daddy more."
Okay, then.

Week 17
Baby is just the sweetest little boy. He smiles all the time. He really is only upset when he is hungry.

Roll Over!
Baby rolled over! He's rolled over for Little Miss and Mother-in-Law, but Little Miss is the only one has seen it. He likes to do it when no one is looking. So, I'm on Baby watch. Every day, I put him down and just say, "roll over!" He hasn't obeyed yet. I know it wasn't until Little Miss was four months old that I got to take a picture and video of it, but when she did it, she ROLLED repeatedly over and over again. The first time she rolled over was at night. She freaked herself out because she couldn't get back onto her back. Then, she didn't do it again for awhile until she could roll both ways and back and forth. We'll see how Baby does. I've been putting toys all around him to see if that will motivate him. Cameras are at the ready!

More Sibling Comparisons
This photo is more apples to apples or, rather, giraffe to giraffe. Little Miss is about 4 months whereas Baby is 3 months, but they are close in age.

Week 16
Baby is 16 weeks old. He had a little cold so his surgery was postponed until next month. The cold doesn't seem to bother him. He's only eating marginally less than usual. He's still awake and alert a good portion of the day.

Weekend Update - Absolutely Nothing
Little Miss left last Thursday to be with my family for a week and a half. She went with my parents and Sister and Nephew to Maine where they all will meet up with my grandparents, aunt, uncle and cousins. It sounds like she's having a great time.
In the meantime, on Saturday, Husband played golf. Baby and I walked to the library. I have three books that are due in rapid succession. I read one with a small fine and had to return it. I'm in the middle of the second and will have to work really hard to finish the third in time for its due date. After the library, I took myself out to lunch while Baby napped. I had some tacos and a margarita. It was delightful. Then, Baby and I sat in the park while I read for a little while. Then, he decided he was a bit hungry as well so we walked home. Then, we took a nap together until Husband came home and cooked dinner. The evening was quiet.
On Sunday, Baby woke up very early and then it was just feeding and playing with him. I did take a nap in the afternoon. Then, Husband cooked a yummy dinner and then we watched a movie.

Weekend Update - Fun Fun Fun
Two weekends ago, it was a very enjoyable weekend. It had been stressful and busy at work so it was nice to have fun and unwind during the weekend.
On Saturday, I took the kids to hang out at my parents' house. Sister, Nephew, Mom, the kids and I had lunch and then went to the pool. We stayed for dinner. It was fun, and Little Miss had a lot of fun with Nephew. They had been asking to play together for awhile.
On Sunday, the kids stayed home with Husband while I met a friend for lunch and a movie. It was a really nice weekend, always fun to catch up with friends and family.

Week 14
Week 14 was fast. More of the same. He's getting quite the sense of humor. He likes to laugh and chatter with his mobile animals. He likes his seat quite a bit though he doesn't love the vibrating function as much as his sister. He's getting much better with the tummy time.

Weekend Update - Fun in the Sun
Last weekend, we did nothing on Friday despite my best efforts. I was just beat. Plus, I knew we had a busy weekend ahead of us. On Saturday, Little Miss and I woke up early and went to Target for some birthday presents. Then, we went to her friend's birthday for some fun facepainting and general 6-year-old chaos. Super hot and super crazy. Lots of sugar. Afterwards, I promised her we could go to the toy story to use a gift card. She carefully made her choices, and we walked out with Operation, a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD, a Winx club doll and something else that I keep forgetting. She is very good at making decisions when faced with "you can get all of this or one of this" or "you can get this but then we need to put some items back". I just have to stop her from buying things she already has.

So, the weekend was a lot of fun but exhausting. I fell asleep watching our Sunday night show as a matter of fact, but it was worth it because Little Miss had a smile on her face the entire weekend.

Wait, what?
Husband asked Little Miss what she missed most about school. We thought she missed her friends though she just saw a bunch of them during the last week. Nope. She told him she mostly missed math class. Don't get us wrong, we completely encourage her (well, we don't discourage her anyway) to do well and encourage her to work hard and love schoolwork, but WHAT? It's summer vacation. I don't recall doing any work growing up during the summer. I did the summer reading program at the library, but I didn't give one thought to school work and definitely not to math class. I hope all this work is leading her to something great.

Caught Unprepared
I have some pictures on my camera that I need to load to post last week's Weekend Update. In the meantime, here's a short story...
Little Miss and I were watching a mind-numbing show on The Disney Channel last night when she sat up and asked, "How did I get in your tummy when I was a baby?"
It suddenly became bedtime.
