Yesterday, we let him try an organic strawberry popsicle. Is that bad? Just a lick. Or two. We figured the icy coldness would feel good on his gums. Of course I worried about food allergies after, but his throat didn’t swell up so we’re good for now.
He seems verrrrry interested in food. He watches us eat and makes little mwomp mwomp motions with his mouth. He’s even reached for things that were heading into my mouth at least twice.

Last night we put him down in the bassinet and when we came into the room later he was sleeping ON HIS SIDE. Wowwwwwwwww!
This morning, I put him on a blanket on the bed and then used the blanket to help him roll over. I swear, it was his idea. Every time I rolled him over, and then back, he just beamed.

We had another lovely out-all-day day. He fell asleep in the car on the way to yoga and slept through that, and most of lunch. Over two hours! He’d skipped his first nap of the day so perhaps he was “consolidating” as they say.
I learned today that my friend, who I believed had the most best sleepingest baby, her baby doesn’t nap well at all. She’s a champ at night, but during the day — barely 20 minutes at a stretch. So, let’s just say, it helps to get the whole story before you start assuming, and I’m not-so-secretly glad that I got to feel like my boy is excelling at something in the sleep department. Especially since he was up every two hours again last night (and that was without any iced tea on my part, so no dice there).
