Toes

Although all the snow has melted, we're going to try and put up our Christmas decorations today. I've always tried to wait until Dec 1, but we figure a week in advance won't hurt anything. Looking forward to baby's first Christmas, and our first family Christmas in the house!

This week was a big one for Cadence. One day mid-week Drew was out with the dog, and I had to go to the bathroom so I put Cadence down on his back, on his playmat. I came back in about one minute, and there he was, still on his back, but about three feet away on the floor. Apparently he has figured out how to do the complete rollover sequence! I feel like the whole planet has subtly shifted. We're told that he'll likely get around by rolling, then start inching on his belly, and eventually start crawling. It has begun. So now we need to get on our hands and knees & look at the house from his perspective, to get things baby-proofed. But first the Christmas decorations! :)

He also stays sitting (for a little bit) when put in position. Doing very well in the exersaucer; we think it's something he might like to own since this one's from the toy library & we only have it for three weeks.

And, yes, he's found his toes. He will work for a very long time trying to get a good enough grip to get them into his little mouth. We think it's quite amusing.

Hey, those toes look good! Yep, the rolling is JUST the beginning! In a year from now - look out! Go Cadence! Happy decorating! We're going to do ours in the next week. Hopefully it'll cool down here a bit more so that it'll at least FEEL like Christmas is approaching.... Love Aunt Tracey Hey - Amanda! Remember Bob and Doug Smoothies? What about Peanut Chubbies? About time to make some of those.....
