It would be much easier to put Ivan in his clothing if he weren’t so obsessed with putting his clothing in his mouth. He has gained skill in moving things to his mouth and discovered his thumb recently. As soon as any clothing is over his hands he will move it into his mouth.

Here he is relaxing on Ezri’s stuffed animal bag. It’s a beanbag, but filled with stuffed animal friends instead of beans.

Ivan’s all bundled up and ready to go.

This week I am working with Ivan to see if I can get him rolling from his tummy onto his back.
He can do the roll from his back to his tummy 100% of the time now.
He’s a pro.

Sadly, this means he rolls over at night and then doesn’t want to sleep on his tummy. So, he fusses until a parent wakes up and flips him over onto his back.

The first few nights were funny, but now we are flipping tired of waking up to flip the little guy,

It’s a good thing he’s so cute.  But on the 3rd wake up of the night I can’t help but think, “Go flip yourself, Ivan.”

There is still just a little bit of one tooth showing, but there is plenty of drool.

Look how much more mature Ivan looks with his head up. He makes it look easy here.

It is not easy.

It is exhausting.
