* Solid food- We are definitely having a love hate relationship with it. One day he likes something and the next day, not so much. I don't get it. But boy can he clench those toothless gums shut!!! Not sure if it is a texture issue but hey I am up for suggestions if anyone has them. I am out of ideas except for just being persistent. Also I said I would never be that mom who did crazy things to get their child to open their mouths. I am that mom... So please don't judge me if you see me feeding my son in public. The foods I most often have luck with are bananas and squash. And he generally does better if the food is mixed with rice or oatmeal and some formula. And yes he really wants the real stuff. The other day I was holding him and eating a banana and he grabbed it out of my hands and tried to stick it in his mouth. So I took some fresh banana and mashed it for him and he wouldn't touch it! Seriously the same banana he had just tried to steal from me. I think we'll do much better when he is past this pureed stuff. Right? I sure hope so.
* Rolling over- Still mastering this but with enough concentration he finally gets it done. I think he is just a few days from easily doing it. I can tell he wants to start getting around. So today we anchored our shelf so I don't have to have nightmares of it falling on him anymore. We are now as prepared as we are gonna get for that stage. And I can tell already that our vacuum is going to get a workout.

| So happy after one of his first roll overs! |
*Giggling- Oh my heavens! The cutest ever. EVER! Probably my favorite of the milestones, for sure. Daddy can get him to giggle way more than I can. I thought for sure he would be a mommy's boy with how much time we spend together, but I definitely think he is a daddy's boy for sure. I just absolutely love how excited he already gets when daddy gets home from work. A few weeks ago were really rough. Justin would leave before he woke and get back after he was asleep. We both missed Justin so much!
* Name recognition- He is finally looking at us when we say his name. We better enjoy it while it lasts. I hear they ignore you later on.
*Trying to sit up- Yep we definitely have not mastered balance yet. Today he finally figured out that he could steady himself with his hands. He eats carpet A LOT. Haha.
* Reaching for toys- Starting to get a whole new interest in those toys we have been collecting. He reaches, grabs, shakes, puts in his mouth (everything is in his mouth these days, especially his index and middle finger) The Bumbo seat has become a problem because he will drop a toy to the side and gets so angry when the seat won't let him twist at just the right angle to recover it.
AND MOMMY'S MILESTONE
Tytus has been sleeping in his crib all night for a week!!!
This is definately more my milestone than Ty's. He has been ready for a LONG time. I was so anxious about the switch from the bassinet to the crib. It terrified me that he would need me and I wouldn't know it until it was too late. I tried the baby monitors. Hated them. You hear everything. EVERYTHING!!! The little girl crying downstairs? check. Every single breath he takes? check. The cat jumping into the bed? Check. (yep happened) Honestly it made things way worse than better. I have no desire to ever use monitors again. Finally after Ty had been waking up every 2 hours for 2 weeks Justin finally broke down and said I think its time. And I knew. I had to do it. So I did. And I am so glad! I sleep better and he sleeps better and Justin sleeps better. Which makes us all just happier in general. And when he needs me I know it and I am there for him.
