After I posted yesterday evening the Little Man had a bath (which went well) and we went out to dinner (which did  not). We went to Mediterranean Cuisine in Maryland Farms. After ordering we went outside. The evening was beautiful – the pond was pretty and the ducks and geese were nearby. Just after our food arrived Luke started going nuts. He had a wet diaper so I took him to the car and changed him. This did nothing to improve his mood, as it normally does. So Liz tried nursing him. He wasn’t interested and kept on wailing. We packed everything up and he calmed down on the drive back to the condo.

Liz said he isn’t sleeping well during the day. My mother helped look after him this afternoon and said he was pretty fussy. Fortunately he was pretty calm by the time I arrived. We did a little tummy time in between nursings.

I spent the afternoon with Luke while Liz worked. He was pretty well behaved. We mainly just relaxed and played with toys on the bed. It was a struggle for me not to fall asleep. We might try to go for a walk later.

Well, Luke hit a big milestone a couple of evenings ago – he rolled over by himself for the first time. We were doing tummy time, and apparently he had enough of being on his tummy, so he rolled over to his back. He has done it a half dozen or so times since. According to Liz’s chart the doctor gave her, that isn’t expected to happen until six months. Exceptional child. This evening during tummy time I filmed him with the hopes he would do it again, but he didn’t. He relaxed with me on the bed for a while after that. I put on his new John Deere socks that Liz’s mother gave him. Tonight he is supposed to get a bath and be weighed, but I’m not sure if either will happen. It is getting pretty late and everybody is rather tired. Two nights ago he also started sleeping in the pack-and-play. It has been a little bit of a difficult transition, but hopefully he will continue to adjust.
