growing baby

Mateo has rolled over three times now! He rolled over (from tummy to back) for the first time last Friday–twice in a row! Then nothing on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, even though we kept trying to see if he would. Yesterday, he rolled over one more time but nothing today. I guess he’s rolling over by accident, right now…he has the muscle strength to flip but not the know-how to do it consistently. Mateo’s also laughing now and today he definitely blew a raspberry–so cute!

In other news, his pediatrician sent Mateo for an ultrasound to check out his hip joints–they feel tight so the pediatrician just wanted to eliminate the possibility that there’s something wrong with the connection. Mateo was really patient today at his hospital visit–he had to stay an extra hour in the waiting room because of some hospital-wide computer glitch, but he didn’t cry once. He was also good during most of the ultrasound exam–he was ok through the leg-bends and leg-smushing, but cried when we held his leg straight. Afterwards, though, he was back to his happy self.

As for me, I’m enjoying my last few weeks of Mateo-time before I start working in late March. I’ll still be able to spend a lot of time with Mateo–more than a standard job–but I’ll also have much more reading, prepping and grading to do. As it, I should start revising my syllabi, hmm…
