Giggles and Wiggles

Dear Vinny,

You have developed the most adorable belly laugh. I'd do just about anything to hear it. We play this fun new game where I kiss your belly and you grab my hair and laugh! It's totally worth getting my hair pulled.

You have not yet rolled over consistently or on purpose. Daddy reports that you have rolled over a couple of times, probably by accident. I've been trying to tempt you to roll over by putting interesting things near you but just out of reach, but so far no luck. Today I had Clement waiting for you and you easily rolled from your back to your side, but you were not interested in going any further than that. They say that easy-going babies are the last to roll over, because they're content with how things are going and have no incentive to shake things up. You are remarkably easy-going so I am not surprised that you are happy on your back.

We've had some success with our bedtime routine. There are still some nights that you are hard to parent to sleep, but you are getting used to winding down with the routine. You still love to be held but touching works too.

Over the past two weeks or so, you've become more aware of your surroundings. You seem to be developing a better understanding of the world. I think this also makes it harder for you to go to sleep, because you don't want to miss out on anything.

Mommy and Daddy love you more than ever!

Love,
Mommy
