Milestone week

Sometimes I wake up in the night before Kale has woken me up and I start to get excited that he is going to sleep through the night. I started imagining what I will write on here to all of you about how he finally achieved such a beautiful thing. Then I hear him crying and my dreams are crushed for the time being.

This week we had a couple milestones.
1. Kale started sleeping without his pacifier. I got sick of getting up numerous times a night to stick it back in, so now he only gets it in his carseat if needed. Surprisingly, he adapted extremely well. He now can fall asleep without it, sometimes without any crying or fussing! I feel so accomplished!
2. Kale rolled over! On Thursday I put him down on his stomach on the floor and turned around to plug in the Christmas tree. When I turned back around, he was on his back! I was very shocked. Of course we tried about a million times after that to get him to do it again and didn't have any luck until yesterday. He was on his tummy and just flipped onto his back. We cheered so much that he got scared and started crying! What will happen when he starts to walk?!?!?

Not his favorite position anymore. (See post on 9-5-07)
Maybe too soon for this. (Yes, Peter got picked for jury duty) Our little elf
Eskimo kisses

He really likes the animal sounds apparently! (Sorry it is so dark)

3 months

Getting a little better at tummy time
Kale's first Christmas tree
A very happy boy, always full of smiles

Our little soccer player
Such a big boy! Kale is now 3 months and more personality every day. As far as I can tell, Kale is a very happy baby. He smiles lots and is good at entertaining himself. The only time he throws fits is if he is not getting fed fast enough. He is still getting up once a night but sleeping until 6:00am more consitently. We'll get there eventually! We just noticed that he is a big fan of the tv already, something we aren't too happy about. I guess that just means we all get to watch less of it, which won't hurt anyone at all. Kale has started giggling a little bit and it makes our hearts smile. Peter is still loving his job and I love staying home with Kale. The tv could be off during the day much more though! I want to work on honoring the Lord by being more productive around our home. I am ashamed to say that it is easy for me to look up and see it is 3:30 and I have wasted the whole day. This is not the mother or wife that I want to be. Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying the Christmas season, I know we are!
