A couple weeks ago he figured out how to sit up all by himself and now he can do it so well he only gets a crash pillow behind him if I need to step out of arms reach for something. Just today he turned all the way around while sitting to play with said pillow. One moment he was sitting where I put him all happy as can be. I folded a sheet and the next time I looked over he was 180 turned and nom-ing on the pillow. That boy! I tell ya.
For a while now Maddox has been rolling onto his belly in his crib. It usually went something like this. I would put him down for a nap. He would immediately try to roll onto his tummy like it was his only goal in life. He would make it and then holler for me like it was the worst thing that had ever happened to him. Well last night it was no different except for the hollering part. He rolled over and went right to sleep on his tummy. Slept a solid 2 hours before he even rustled and then he woke up to feed. I must say, babies asleep on their tummies are so adorable!!
The night time wakings are getting to be fewer these days. He was still waking up around 1 and 4:30 for feedings until recently. About a week ago I stopped feeding him at the 4:30 wake up because he was falling asleep half way through the first side. That went really well. There was only one night where he was resistant to going back to sleep but he got some good Mommy cuddles and didnt' stand a chance. The past few nights he's just taken his soother back and gone right back to sleep at that time though he was still waking and insisting on food around 1. Last night he fed at 11:30 and then slept right through the 1 am feed. He woke 4:30, took his soother and went right back to sleep! It was the most sleep I've gotten in months! What a wonderful night that was.
Here's a monitor picture of him sleeping on his tummy last night. Too cute!
