Up North

We are catching up for August, where you spent almost a week up in Northern Minnesota with the Himan/Masterson clan - thanks Grandma & Grandpa Himan!

You were much loved by all the aunties, uncles and grandparents - but Grandpa Himan wins the prize for tucking you under his arm and letting you take long naps in the shade resting on his "shelf". Grandma Himan meanwhile was busy being the pied piper with the other mobile kids.

Lots more rolls now, every morning we find you awake on your back (after rolling from your belly).

First rolls!

Last Saturday morning you were playing in your gym (the playmat with the dangly birds and amazing star that lights up and plays music - one of your new favorite places) and you rolled from your tummy to your back - and were quite surprised!

Later that day Daddy went upstairs to get you from your nap and found you lying on your back, looking a bit pleased (we now put you to sleep on your tummy). You've repeated the feat one more time since.

You've gotten quite good at knowing how to get the musical star started by kicking your legs, and getting the music going with vigorous kicks in your bouncy chair.

Generally you're still all smiles (except when you're tired) and I still look down in the middle of night while changing your diaper to see you grinning up at me, and though I know I shouldn't play and wake you up, I can't help but smile back. You're too darn charming.
