Like a Rollin' Stone... Amazing.

Today was a big day of firsts!

Neb had his midterm exam today, and so B-Boy was once again wearing a matching onesie to Neb's lucky t-shirt. (Neb had to order B-Boy a new one, since he already outgrew the first one.) To complete his rocker look, B-Boy wore his first pair of blue jeans today! He looked so cute, even though his shirt looked a bit menacing.

Are you ready to ROCK?

After daycare, B-Boy and I stayed after for an infant massage class. Two of his teachers are providing it, and I really look forward to the class on Monday evenings. B-Boy seems to enjoy it for the most part, and it really helps us get him to relax to go to sleep.

When I arrived at his classroom, he was "singing"... he has taken to do this a lot lately. I think he is finding his voice very interesting, and he likes to practice using it, especially in the car. It was quite funny, since he was well into some B-Boy Opera when I arrived.

We all sat on the floor with our babies in thier diapers only, laying on their back. Class had just started and we were reviewing how to massage his legs, when all of the sudden, B-Boy was ON HIS TUMMY!!!!

I was shocked. As you may have read in my previous post this morning, I thought it would be a week or two before he did this. It took a few moments for it to sink in... my baby is on his tummy... because he ROLLED there!

I was holding his foot at the time because that was what we were massaging. How he managed to roll over with his foot in my hand is beyond me. The best thing is that I had several witnesses, but unfortunately, Neb was taking his test at the time and couldn't be there.

Fast forward to later tonight... I fed B-Boy and changed his diaper. We both got on the floor to lay on a blanket. I laid him on his back so that we could play. Before I knew it, he was on his tummy AGAIN!!! Unfortunately, Neb was making B-Boy's bottles for tomorrow's meals and missed it. And in classic B-Boy style, he refused to do it again.

Oh well. I am sure it won't be the last time. But I must say, this is one of the most exciting things since he was born. The smile was wonderful, giggles are great... but to see your little boy roll over for the first time is just amazing. Almost as amazing as watching your baby's daddy teach your son how to roll over.

Amazing.

Much to update you on today's adventures.

Today, B-Boy went for his four month check up. That meant S-H-O-T-S... :(

He got weighed, measured, poked and prodded today. I know you are curious, so I am dashing off this quick update... my appologies if it is not very entertaining today.

Before I get to the numbers, while we were waiting for the doctor today, B-Boy found his feet! We had stripped him down to his diaper and he was laying on the examining table/bench thingie... he lifted his legs up in the air. Next thing I know, he is grabbing his feet!!! He then continued to hold them and pull him toward his face. Too cute!

The doctor came in and said B-Boy was right on track for most of the developemental milestones and ahead on the rest. YAY! They measured him and both the nurses were SHOCKED at how long his was... 26.5 inches. His head? 17.25 inches. His weight? We learned from the pediatrician that his weight should double his birthweight at six months of age. Guess what? Drum roll please! He weighs 17 pounds 8 ounces! Which means he has doubled his weight in four months!!!! Yikes! He is in the 90th percentile for weight and height. Wow.

Holy moly, B-Boy is growing up! And fast... but he sure feels heavier... and that was BEFORE he ate his bottle!

B-Boy also got 3 of his 6 immunizations... one liquid to drink, and two shots. We will go back next week for 2 more shots, and then the following one for the last. I just can't put 5 needles into him on one day... poor guy. He held himself pretty well, and bounced back quickly.

We then went back to daycare... where he spent the remainder of the day. After daycare, two of his teachers held an infant massage class. To get started, we lay B-Boy on his fuzzy blanket on the floor. One of my coworkers and her husband sat next to us with her son who is 3 weeks younger than B-Boy. B-Boy must have really liked them, because the next thing I knew, he rolled onto his side all by himself to get a better look!

WOW! He did this several times, and on both sides. It is only a matter of time before he is rolling all the way...

The massage class went well. B-Boy was very relaxed afterward... as a matter of fact, he could barely keep his eyes open during his last bottle. So, the busy day has settled into a quiet night, and we are oh so grateful.

So, I hope you enjoyed the update, and that the confusing title makes more sense now. He found his feet, got a massage, rolled on his side, and went to the doctor. Odd title, but my brain is tired... was up late watching the Saints beat the Colts to win their first Superbowl! Whoo-hoo... Who Dat!
