Atticus rolled for the first time yesterday as he was being inspected by his pediatrician. He went from stomach to back. It took him a painstakingly long time, but stood next to him & rooted him on as he stretched, arched, & pushed himself over. We love milestones!
He has been gnawing on his hand a lot & some nights waking up 4-5 times a night wanting to feed. He is above the mean on the growth chart. Being 4 months & 1 week & already 16 pounds, he is a large baby, especially considering that breast milk is his only source of food. We've had such trouble sleeping through the night this week. I am a walking zombie much of the day. Can't finish sentences, can't keep complex thoughts in my head...
The pediatrician suggested feeding him rice cereal. Although I read two baby books that stated there was little evidence showing that solids make babies sleep through the night, the pediatrician touted that solids would. So we fed him solids last night, & he happily ate it up & laughed while chomping away.
Our Year-two anniversary is on Saturday. The same day that Robby is leaving for Oxford for two weeks. I joke around and say that he owes me big time for leaving the baby with me & my parents, but I'm lucky that my parents love babies & are willing to help. Still, it's not the same when Daddy isn't around.
