1) It took a couple of slightly rough nights, but Brennan has been sleeping through the night for the last week or so (roughly 7:30 to 6:30 or so). Both of us are thankful to be reminded of what it feels like to have a full night's rest.
2) He's also starting to sleep a little bit longer during the day. We've had a few days of hour plus naps recently as opposed to the 20-30 minute power naps we're used to. Don't know what that means, but thought I'd share.
3) He's also started rolling over from back to front, although he still pretty much hates to be on his front. The good news is that it's basically built in tummy-time, and we don't have to be the bad guys that way.
4) The bad news is that he seems to always end up rolling over at night, so if he wakes up in the middle of the night, he can get a little irritated about facing the wrong direction. Audrey used to sleep face down too, but she was face down, tush up, whereas Brennan is more just splayed out on his belly, face awkwardly tilted to one side or the other. It looks terribly uncomfortable, but whatever works for him.
5) After the holidays we started him on rice cereal and oatmeal, and last week started with other 'solid' foods. So far he's been through squash, sweet potatoes and carrots. Carrots seem to be him favorite so far, but we'll see if that continues. And even though we've been through this within the last two years, neither of us really remembers the protocol for introducing solid foods, so we're kind of winging it, and we went straight from him eating once a day to twice a day. He seems interested in eating when the rest of us sit down to eat, so we've just been feeding him. We'll continue to wing it and see how it goes...
