day of week

Sean - 17 weeks old

6 July 2005

Haha Sean is such a chubby little cutie.
He’s been rolling over (both ways) for a couple of weeks now… and I’m a little shocked. Are babies supposed to roll this early?!? I don’t remember Callum rolling at 3½ months.

They say the second child usually develops much quicker than the first, because they watch and learn from the older child. But I suspect it’s more of a perception thing too - you know, time seems to stop as you watch your first born child achieve his first big milestone. Like watching man’s first step on the moon. The breathtaking, miraculous achievement of mankind.

But second time round was all good too. Sean rolled over, cameras were snapping, camcorders were rolling, and there was plenty of oohing and aahing. So no one will be holding me responsible for middle-child neglect.

Sean also started doing several rolls at a time, and he can now grab and reach for things. Which means I have to keep the floor free from sultanas, rice bubbles, nuts and little plastic cowboys.

Ugh. And recently he’s been waking up 2-3 times a night this week. For a cuddle and a semi-feed. Which is not acceptable at 4:30am!
So solid food will also be starting this week. In hopes that his sleeping will improve.
