Tummy Time

It's my turn to post on the latest thing the boy is doing. Monday afternoon Finley enjoyed some tummy time and consistently rolled from his stomach onto his back. When Daddy came home, of course, he would not show off this new skill. Eventually he turned from his stomach onto his side, but never fully onto his back. He is stretching those neck muscles more and more, and has pretty good control over his head.

Finley has decided he only likes to sleep at night, which is nice, but makes for long days and evenings. He sleeps for about 4-5 hours at night, the last few nights he has woken up at about 4:30, no matter what time he's gone to bed. He usually eats and goes back to sleep for 2 hours or so. This seems like no where near enough sleep for a baby. It's not for lack of trying, but he rarely sleeps more than 30 minutes at a time during the day, usually after eating. I used to be able to put him in his car seat and run errands and he would sleep the whole time we were gone, but now he is awake and alert or crying the whole time.

Finley is making noises and smiling all the time. He's even trying to laugh. I can't wait until he really laughs.
