Could it be?? Reed starting to sleep through the night??

Well we're not making any promises yet, but last night was the2nd night in a row of Mr. Reed sleeping from about 9:30pm to about 7am! He outgrew his bassinet a few weeks ago, so he's been temporarily sleeping in a pack in play in our room. But he just never really seemed to be able to get comfortable for a long period of time. Plus he kicks and moves alot so we thought his actual crib would be best. So Friday night we moved him up to his room to sleep in his big boy crib. Jon and I have been sleeping in the room next to his so we can be closer to him during the night. Friday night he woke up a little around 3am and fussed for about 15 minutes. He fell right back asleep after that until about 6:30am, ate just a little bit and then went back to sleep until about 9am! Last night, he fussed for about 5 minutes around 1am, but then went back to sleep until about 7am this morning. I was watching him on the video monitor and when he woke up he started looking around and kicking and playing. When I went to go get him, he was so happy and started smiling and kicking. I think Reed is really enjoying getting a full nights sleep as much as we are!

A couple of other new things he is doing: He may be rolling over soon! When he is laying down playing, he picks his little legs up all the way to his chest and starts leaning to the side. As soon as he gets enough momentum, I think his side lean will roll him over (onto his side anyway). He is also starting to show an interest in one of his toys that has a small clear plastic roller ball on it that has little colored plastic things in it that spin when you roll it. I've tried to get him to notice it before, but he hasn't paid any attention to it before now. Now he tries to touch it and loves to see it spin!

We are going to attempt church again this morning. He did great last week and actually really liked the loud music (but then slept through the sermon :) ). Hopefully he does as good this morning!
