That’s what we call it here, anyway.  Eric is taking off work on Friday, so today is like Thursday for him…thus the name!

Baby Updates:

• Alex can roll over now (belly to back).  On Monday, he did it 5 times, 4 of which I actually saw.  He hasn’t done it since, but I know he is able to, so I’m sure it will only get more common now.
• Erin hasn’t rolled yet, but she is incredibly dexterous and is “talking” all the time!
• Alex is loving his oatmeal these days.  He eats it better for Eric than for me, but he opens his mouth for it and seems to really enjoy it.  I think I’ll be starting Erin on “real” food in a couple of weeks, but she’s doing fine without it for now, so I’m not rushing it.
• Sleeping is getting better very gradually, I think.  Erin is still my champion sleeper, though she’s had trouble at bedtime a couple of times recently (very unusual!).  Alex hasn’t had a screaming fit at night since Sunday night, though he did have one yesterday afternoon.  He still wakes up in the night (so my sleep is still interrupted), but I’ve rarely had to get up with him this week.  Hopefully, the pattern continues to trend this way!

Yesterday Updates:

• We ran to Target yesterday.  I bought baby clothes for cheap and mostly in the next size up.  I realized that I did not have very many 6-9 month clothes, so I’ve been filling in that gap as I find clearance/sale items.
• The clothes I ordered from The Children’s Place came yesterday.  They were having a 40% off sale, and I had a code for an extra 15% off.   So I got about 20 items for like $80, including two jackets for chilly weather in the fall.  Nice!
• I did our laundry yesterday.  And I loaded the dishwasher.  And I held my screaming son for about an hour or more in the afternoon.  And I did a load of baby laundry.  And some other stuff, I’m sure.  But those were the big ones.

And finally, some pictures from yesterday for your enjoyment!
