A couple milestones in one day

I was shocked when I came back into the living room after just pouring myself a glass of OJ to see him on his belly.  I left him for under 1 minute and he went from back to belly.  I missed it.  For the past 2 weeks I've been staring at him whenever he's on the floor to make sure I don't miss these little monumental steps.  But luckily Brandon loves to repeat everything.  So the next show was after lunch.  AND I MISSED IT for the second time.  This time I was opening a letter.  Luckily I finally caught the 3rd time.  I was beginning to feel horrible to not keeping my eyes on him every second he was on the floor.  It just shows that in just 10 seconds you can miss anything.

After going from back to belly B started to squirm around on his mat like a fish out of water.  It was to cute.  (I really think we're close to him crawling)  But he already sort of crawls.  If he is laying on his back he'll arch him back and "back crawl"  He only figured this out today (which scares me because my house is not baby proofed)  for the past 4 days he's been arching his back in his chairs, stroller, crib, changing table...you name it he's trying to move off it.  So I see him back crawling and immediately starting cheering him on.  But ended it as soon as he got off the mat.  Sorry Brandon no crawling time until Mommy gets some of the dangerous electrical chords out of the way.

Another daily struggle is teething.  They only seem to bother him when he's cranky close to nap time.  I did notice that he's almost cut another tooth (I think, some days he looks like two white spots, other days it's only one)

Last but not least Brandon now sleeps about 11 hours a night!  I know this because I went to bed when he did last night.  I was just exhausted, so it was off to bed around 8:30PM.   Hopefully I'll get another full night.
