Happy Birthday Grandma!

Peter has two wonderful grandmas who have shown so much love in his first few months of life. Today was Grandma Teri's birthday. In honor of her birthday, Peter wanted to do something really exciting to show off for her. I thought we could take a picture of him holding his head up, which is our recent trick and accomplishment. Here are some pictures from yesterday.





But Peter had something else in mind. He decided he was going to roll over today. He practiced his roll three or four times in the morning, and then was exhausted. He decided to rest until later that afternoon when Grandma came to visit. And when she did, he rolled over for her (a little begrudgingly)! He's now a pro!

Our three-month old rolls from front to back, and I couldn't be more excited! He loves to chat and smile. He lets out these squeals and exasperated sighs that just crack us up. Of course we love to copy everything he says. I'm sure that frustrates him. How would you like it if every time you spoke to someone they just repeated what you already said? The conversation goes no where!

The best part of his rolling over excitement is that Scott was working from home today, so he got to see Peter do it for the first time! Peter was on his belly, wiggling, and he started to rock to the side a bit. I hollered at Scott to come in, and we were both able to watch Peter's first roll. I'll have to watch him a little more closely from now on. He's learning fast, and I don't want him to wiggle himself off his changing table.

Peter loves looking at his mobile (trying to whack the animals that go around it), listening to music and singing, reading stories, and standing up. He thinks he is all grown-up and ready to stand on his own. He is getting big! He wears size 6 month clothes now (he's actually almost already out of them!), was 14.5 pounds last time I checked (two weeks ago), and is 26 inches long. We'll go for an official check the first week of January. We love this little guy, and we are so happy to have him in our lives. I can't even remember what is was like before he came to our family. It must have been very boring, because Peter provides all the entertainment around here. I love him more than I ever thought I could love anything.
