This video, if it works :) , is of Fox trying to roll over!! He is so close! Now, I must backtrack. He has been rolling over...just only in his crib. He is sneaky and doesn't perform for his mommy and daddy when we prompt him. So, we have been patiently waiting to see him attempt rolling over on his own. (don't think we didn't roll him ourselves though... simulating the real thing for him... practice, if you will :) )
He enjoys reaching for his hanging toys on his play mat. Well, he pretty much swipes them randomly, but it is adorable nonetheless.
This was the last nap/time Fox slept in his pack n play... I didn't sleep for the next 3 nights!! I just cried and stared at the monitor making sure my bog boy was breathing juuuuuust right... and that he didn't cry out for his mama. And sure enough... he never did. He is the bravest little guy I know! He loves his crib! We literally feed him a bottle and IF he actually makes it through the whole bottle without falling asleep, we snuggle him real good and then place him in his crib and he puts himself to sleep. However, he does have a sleeping aid to keep him comfortable in his crib; his thumb! I know, I KNOW! but we will be able to break him of the thumb-sucking one day... rriiigghhtt?!
Sweeite sleeping his first night away from mommy and daddy!
Of course, he can still fall asleep at the drop of a hat :) He can probably climb Mount Everest, as long as he has that thumb, he is limitless :) #neithermommynordaddysuckedtheirthumbs #iblamehisgodmother
Since my summer is coming to an end, we have tried to keep a nightly routine with Fox. We play, we bathe, we get in our jammies, we eat, then we sleep. So far, so good! He is just like his daddy, he likes a schedule!
This summer was a whirlwind! Fox kept my days quite busy! While school hasn't yet begun, my hours have already started. I relocated from teaching in Richardson ISD to Frisco ISD and am now 9 minutes away from Fox's school! Such a convenience being so close to him! Frisco ISD also releases at 2:50, meaning I get to leave at 3:20... do the math! If I hustle, I can get to my lovie by 3:30! He will start his school on September 1st. Until then... he will be rocking and rolling with his Mallie! (Thank you, Mal, for the countless hours you will spend with your grandson! I promise, he will always cherish his one-on-one time with you!)
Mallie is so good about sending me Fox Selfies while I am in Professional Developments :)
Never one to shy away form sawing logs.
More selfies!
He even helped his Godmother study for her lactation certification exam.
He has become such an inquisitive little man and quite the narcissist. He just adores his own reflection! Can't say I blame him!
Fox's first Frisco Rough Rider's Game!! He made it almost 7 innings! Thank goodness, that TX can have 100 degrees one day and 70 the next :) It was a beautiful evening to be outside!
Who wouldn't love snuggles from Dallie! One day, Fox will complete the Rough Rider's "cycle" of food like his Dallie; a hotdog, burger, chicken sandwich and rounding it out with a brat- I can't leave out the popcorn, peanuts, and baked chips along the way! It is a great tradition!
