sleeping, rolling, reading


Last night Dustin slept for a 6+ hour stretch! He was down from about 10pm to 4:30am. I got to bed by 11pm, so I was feeling pretty good after such a nice stretch. Then he slept from 5-7am. We got up to poop, talk, and eat a bit, and he slept again from 8-9:30am. He's been mellow all day. I presume its from the nice sleep.

He is now a voracious roller. When I lay him down to sleep on his back, he puts his legs up vertically, and then they fall one way or the other, resulting in a 90-degree roll. That's the preferred position to fall asleep, but by the time he wakes up, he's invariably on his belly. I think he sleeps most of the night on his belly, until he inches his way over to a crack, and then fusses and wakes up. He does all sorts of acrobatics in bed. It might be time for the real crib soon.

He also rolls like crazy when he's playing on a mat. Sometimes this frustrates him, because he can't roll back onto his back. But this evening he hung out on his mat for over a half hour, just eating blankets and staring at his toys, and talking to the walls.

The picture shows Dad reading our new book to Dustin. He was very into it for about 10 pages, and that was it.
