our weekend

cole continued to sleep through the night friday night and saturday night.  last night, however, he started crying at 1:45am, and i decided to ignore it hoping that he would go back to sleep. he started crying louder so i went in to check on him, and i'll be darned if that boy did not roll himself over from his belly to his back!  i was floored!  he does not and cannot sleep on his back for whatever reason, so i'm hoping that this doesn't become a regular occurrence in the middle of the night.  he, then, of course, wanted to eat, so...anyway, i'm just hoping we jump back on the 13 hour sleep train. 

saturday, cole went to a birthday party for the first time.  they had a space walk.  we are about a year too early for him to fully appreciate that.

sunday, we went to church.  cole does great in the nursery, thank goodness.  our friend, janelle, came over that night so that john and i could go to a friend's birthday dinner.  cole goes to bed between 6 & 7, so really it's just listening to the monitor to make sure he's okay while he sleeps.  we got this fantastic movement monitor that detects micro-movements (breathing) and will alarm if breathing stops for 20 seconds.  you know, doctors and books make you think your baby is going to die if they sleep on their belly, so i can rest easy knowing that we will know if something happens to him in the middle of the night. 

today, we did a whole bunch of nothing.  well, actually, i pulled all of the staples out of the kitchen ceiling (from the tiles that used be up there) in preparation for putting in a new ceiling.  all three of us ran to wawa just to get out of the house to get drinks and a warm chocolate chip cookie for me. 

cole is starting to suck on anything he can get his hands on...

 ...fist...

 ...toys...

 ...burp cloth...

i get a kick out of how he drifts around his pack 'n play/crib...

i <3 him.
