Fun Day Friday

I can roll over! from Heather Gray on Vimeo.

Evidence of his newest accomplishment... I barely caught it. And, Ms. Nora Jean from Daycare said that she was so excited that he rolled over for the first time today. Ha! Justin and I did see his first time!

I have coined the phrase "Fun Day Friday" for Jackson and I. On Fridays, I am fortunate enough to get home at lunch time. Although it may be smart to take this time to run errands without him, I can't resist going to pick him up early and take him home for some fun time with me. Our Friday afternoon routine somehow always manages to include lots of play time... and the following:

I am happy to report that I laid him down awake in the pack n play. He went to sleep on his own.... not to say that he is used to it, but it's progress. He started crying after 40 minutes. I thought he was just ready to get up, but apparently not. He went right back to sleep when I picked him up and sat down on the couch with him.

A couple more pictures to finish... When trying to wake Jackson up (which is hard to do when he has been cuddling with mama), if you tell him you love him and start talking sweet to him, he smiles with his eyes closed. So, I finally got a picture of him smiling because he can't see the camera (i.e. the alien as he sees it).
