Number 1

Reasons for this blog:
1) Grandparents, other family members, and friends that are interested in watching the current little one and future little ones grow up but aren't able to be here.
2) I'm sure not everyone on facebook is interested in how many times a day the baby eats or whether or not he is sleeping at night, but at some point I know I will want to look back and read about it.
3) Because this is what parents do

With that being said, this first post is at 3AM while the 7 weeker is still wide awake. He is on my sleep schedule so I can't get too frustrated with him. We like to stay up late and sleep late. Unfortunately sometimes mommy has to get up early and the 7 weeker doesn't understand going to bed earlier the night before such mornings. Oh well, we will have to address that at some point.

Today Caleb enjoyed jumping in the jumperoo for a whole 8-10 minutes, but those were the best 8-10 minutes of the day! He is technically still too small for this kind of adventure but he has good head control and likes to stand and jump while being held. So I figured it was worth a try. He loved it and was all smiles, but when he was tired of jumping he let me know.

He has also been rolling over from tummy to back for the past week and a half. I've never known a six week old to roll over until now. Now at almost 8 weeks, he is a pro at it. Everything I've read says that rolling over doesn't begin until 4 to 6 months.

The bumpers are going to have to come out of the crib since he ends up moving around the whole thing during the course of a few hours at night. If he were lifting his head while moving, then it would be considered an army crawl. He has his arms and legs going but keeps his head down even though he can lift it up with no problem. Pretty sure a 7 week old isn't supposed to be crawling.

In other words, it won't be too much longer until we are chasing Caleb around the house trying to keep up with him.
