well, it's begun. ian is a mover and shaker now. he's finally remembered that he knows how to get off of his belly, but he rolls the same way that he rolled onto his belly, making it possible that he could just continue rolling right across the room. childproofing, here we come! we really haven't had to deal with childproofing for quite a while, so it'll be a pain to get used to those cabinet latches and gates again. sigh.
i was all set to write yesterday about ian's AWESOME sleep on thursday night (7:15pm-8am) and his great naps during the day yesterday, but no. last night was absolutely awful. he went to bed fine, then woke up around 12:30 to eat. fine. he didn't go back to sleep until 3:30. what is UP WITH THAT, ian?? part of the issue is that he's starting to actively dislike being swaddled, so that'll be going by the wayside very soon. we're giving it one more shot tonight, and that's it. i think 4 1/2 months is plenty long to be swaddled, and that he's probably right that he's ready.
abby has entered into the "why" phase of childhood. i enjoy all the whys, but it's definitely hard sometimes to come up with answers to questions like, "why are these daddy's hot wheels?" or answering this one for the millionth time, "but why are we going this way?" she's also become very big into using her "magination." which led to this conversation yesterday:
a--"those horses kind of look like cows to me"
m--"well, that's pretty silly, because they're horses"
a--"but i'm betending that they're cows! i'm using my magination! my magination's inside my head!"
m--"oh. okay."
