+ Memorial Weekend +
It was an interesting weekend for us all. You have developed some interesting new habits, and skills. First, you rolled over! I noticed it the first time on Saturday, though you rolled into the back of the couch, which stopped you. Then Saturday night, while Grandma Laurie was watching you, you did it twice in the playpen! She was happy to see it. Unfortunately, so far you only do it when you're really irritated and crying. Oh well. It's still cute.

You were very well-behaved this weekend. We took you shopping (more Carters clothes!) on Saturday, and on Sunday we went out to the west side to see your Great-Grandpa Pete in the hospital. He's doing better, and he was so happy to see you. That was followed by lunch, during which you were an angel. Really, you're beautifully behaved if you've got someone (usually me) to stare at. Interesting.

Your newest development is your mouth. We feel teeth in there, and now we can see them on the top. I still don't know when you'll start teething, but between the drool and your current desire to have everything in your mouth, it can't be far off. Your bib is your favorite chew toy, though you really will put anything you get your hands on in there. I gave you a teething toy designed for 6+ month babies and you absolutely love it. It's a twisty toy and you have a field day with it. I love that you can deliberately grab onto things now.

You also are increasingly fond of TV. Great. Baby Bach is like baby crack. I think I might get really sick of watching it, but you just like it so much, I'm helpless.

Less than 2 weeks until you don't have to wear your harness to bed anymore. I cannot wait. It's not really that big a deal, it's just inconvenient. Especially when you've already fallen asleep and I have to wake you up to put you in it. You don't like that much.
