Month: January 2012

Today you flipped from your back to your belly for the first time all by yourself. Mamae saw it, I just missed it.

Mamae said “its time for eric to sleep.”
So I put you in the bugaboo, put a paci in your mouth and a blanket on you, and without a single fuss, you feel asleep. We are both amazed.

Today was a beautiful day, sunny, perfect blue sky, not one cloud to be seen, 21 celsius. You were having a hard time staying asleep anywhere but in my arms so I took you for a long stroller ride to see if you would fall asleep. You didn’t, you were way too interested on everything moving around you and stayed awake the whole 30 minutes. In the end you were close to falling asleep but I didn’t want to keep going around the block again.

Since we got back from Brazil you have really enjoyed playing in your gymini. You bat at the toys, grab them, roll to your side to put the lower ones in your mouth, you can stay there a good half an hour before getting frustrated that you can’t put the high ones in your mouth 😉

You have been sucking on your thumb for short periods of time. I was preparing lunch and had you in a little rocker crib in the kitchen so we could see each other. You were sleepy and upset, wanted me to get you out of there. Since I couldn’t, you found a way to soothe yourself: by sucking on your thumb. You fell asleep like that, we were impressed. Daddy took a picture, so cute.

You did even better on your flight back home. You slept/nursed almost the entire time and in the short time you were awake you were smiling away to the lady sitting across from us. She said you were awesome for being quiet and happy the whole time, and I agree.

You were quite upset in your sleep, woke up screaming and rolled over from back to tummy in bed, and fell asleep like that.

We thought you laughed for the first time back in December, to vovô, but you didn’t do it again so we weren’t sure. Today you turned 3 months old, and while we were at your uncle Zé and aunt Tereza’s house, tia Tereza was playing with you and you laughed for all of us to hear, several times. It was so adorable! Daddy caught it in video. A happy 3 months old!
