Kinda sitting

Cold windy day...

This morning....he did have his head down and to the side,

but as soon as I went to get the camera his head popped up :)
He loves watching his mobile every morning (usually on his back).

Trying to roll from his back to his belly (not yet accomplished).

I'm afraid the next thing will be investigating the buttons that run the mobile.
Aren't we cute?!?

This is his newest thing. When he is done eating (or distracted) he flops to his back and smiles and talks to me, but in this case he's knocked out ;).

Must have been a good batch of milk!!

We are stuck in the house today....no car, it's rain, and there are big gusts of wind....I'm thinking we may need a trip to the shopette though, to get a movie or two. That is if the rain holds off.

Rorek is busy taking his morning nap. The one nap he is always ready for and cries the least for. Which in my mind makes no sense. He just got up from a nite of sleep and now 2 hours later he's sleeping away. Last nite he was fed at 735pm put down to sleep, and awoken at 525am by me for a feeding(10hours; that is the longest we have gone between feedings; I almost wanted to let him sleep longer to see how long he would go, but I NEEDED to feed him!! and I saw him moving a bit on the monitor). Put back down to sleep and up again at 810am. I think he may have been up a lot sooner, but in the morning he tends to babble and/or lay on his belly with his eyes wide open for a while before he lets us know he is awake. Getting him up at that time is my favorite part of the day because he is ALWAYS happy, full of smiles, and usually talks a bit.

Daily Entertainment

3.5 months

I had Rorek weighed and measured today while at an appointment....15lbs (with clothes) and 24.5 inches. He has his 4 month appointment on the 17th, so we will see if they measure the same. Rorek has been busy smiling and laughing a lot. Lately, during his feedings he decides that what his dad is doing or the noises he is making in the kitchen are more interesting than eating. So, he leans back on his back and puts his head back to see if he can figure out what's going on. He also smiles and finds it funny that his mom wants him to eat. So, in turn he has been eating less. I guess he's probably between growth spurts and is very alert and curious about his surroundings.

We (Rorek and I) are in the process of figuring out when we are headed to the US. I'm thinking we will head there in April sometime after his 6 month checkup. He needs to meet his fam and I need to have people to talk to. Not that I can't talk to Rorek, but I need a little more interaction. Most of my friends are moving soon and I think a summer with just the two of us may get a little tiresome, lonely, and a bit boring. For Rorek's sake, he needs some new hands to hold him.

Roll over

How do you keep a baby from turning over in their crib at nite? (He rotates still, but mainly at nap time while crying). Rorek likes to turn over, which "in turn" makes him wide eyed, legs kicking and basically awake (often with a smile on his face). When he does not turn over, he may jabber or whine a bit, BUT he goes back to sleep.
I am now being a picky parent. I have gotten used to longer spans between feedings. Don't get me wrong the chunks of time are plenty for a feeding, just closer than other nights. Plus he doesn't cry much at all :), only when I put him in his crib for a nap.
He still does not like a bottle or pacifier...but does enjoy putting toys and fingers (ours and his) in his mouth to chomp and/or suck on. If only you could tape a pacifier in place, he would love to chew on it.

Writing...don't like it!!

Looking Good!! Check out my new sweater and socks from the sale rack at H & M.

Yummy!! Daddy's finger is good to chomp on.

Don't look at my belly. Please put my shirt back on.

Okay, you can look at my belly this time.

Fun times in the tub :)

Check out these legs!! They sure do like to kick.

My sister wrote her blog about me asking questions about the happenings at different ages/stages....despite that I, myself, rarely write about our happenings. When I look back at the day it's all a blur, somewhat repetitive....I will most likely regret this later in life, but I just don't like to write. Never have, don't believe I ever will. Maybe, when I am old and gray.

So, here are a few pics of our beautiful child :).
