Rolling

Well, still no crawling, but he sure is figuring out how to move around anyway. He is quite the rolly-polly boy these days. He gets on his belly and rolls from place to place. When he is sitting he can scoot around and around in circles, and sometimes even get places. Plus, he has a big sister who also enjoys transporting him different places. The other day they were both playing in the living room. I was in the dining room on the computer. Within a few minutes, I noticed how quiet it had become. It sounded like both kids were back in the bedroom. Sure enough, as I got up to check, I found Caelan and Ben playing in the toy room. I asked Caelan how Ben got back there and she promptly told me that she dragged him by the feet down the hall. I didn't hear any crying, so apparently he didn't seem to mind. He is very fond of his bottle most of the time. All you have to do is bring it within his eyesight and his hands and feet stat moving and little noises come out of his mouth. A couple days ago we gave him his bottle and then watched as he stuck his legs in the air and then rocked back and forth, back and forth. He even rocked so far to the side that he got his legs turned under him and was on his knees (while he was still trying to drink his bottle). I think he is going to discover a whole new world once he can really start moving around. He was sick last night. He showed no sign of feeling yucky before bed, but I woke up twice to him crying. He had thrown up in his bed both times. All I had to do was clean the mess and give him back his blankie and binkie again and he was right back to sleep., This morning he hasn't been completely himself, but he really isn't acting very sick either. Maybe it was just something he ate. He can repeat a couple of things; "mama," "da da" and sometimes he makes a cute noise like he is trying to repeat me when I show him a picture of Jesus. He is going to be one year old in about a week and a half. I can't believe where this year has gone - it feels like he was born just a couple of months ago.
