6.5 & Boot Scootin Baby

Last night Ollie slept for 6.5 hrs straight! No Caterwalling, no screaming because he was too tired. Just sleep. He got up at 3:30 and after a bottle slept until he got to the babysitters at almost 7:30. I swear, someone snatched our baby and replaced him with this one. I'm wondering if it's because his gastric is subsiding. He's spitting up hardly at all anymore. He does get an occasional vomit out, but not much. He did manage to give splatter a milk-bath the other night!

He's also become more mobile. Not much but somewhat. He can hold himself up in his car seat for a few seconds from the waist up. He's also gotten real good at pushing himself off of blankets while on the ground. He is starting to learn how to turn himself over as well. Yesterday morning he almost slipped himself out of his carseat onto the floor. He got into a bit of trouble for that from his momma.

The thumb sucking is almost right. He can get his hand to his mouth almost every time. He sometimes still sucks a fist, but when he gets his thumb out the rest of his fingers are out as well, like a high-five. It usually doesn't stay in long, but he's getting there.

Of course, now that I've said all this, it'll probably jinx it all and we're in for one bad night!
