And in other breaking news…

You have finally rolled over from your back to your tummy for us. Without prodding. As usual, you did it almost effortlessly… with the exception of that silly little arm on the bottom. Whew, that thing is hard to get on top of!

UPDATE [Sunday morning]: We obviously need to set some ground rules on the whole “rolling over” thing. This is a daytime only activity and should not be practiced in your crib at, say, 5am.

Same rules apply for crawling and pulling yourself up.

UPDATE [Monday morning]: Just to be clear, 5:30am is still not considered daytime. Let’s just agree that we won’t practice rolling over in our crib, okay? Daddy and I would prefer that you only sleep and suck your thumb in the crib.

UPDATE [Tuesday morning]: We. Get. It. You can roll over. Yea, Asher! We’re so proud of you, little squishy! There. Now when you accomplish this feat at 3:30am, 4:30am, 5:30am and 6:30am, it’s really not necessary to announce it with a sleep- skull-piercing screech. What would really be impressive at this point is if you learn to sleep on your stomach.

UPDATE [Wednesday morning]: Yaaaawn. You’re parents are too old for this. I should clarify the sounds that come from the baby monitor - it’s not always a skull-piercing squeal, more often than not, there’s a lot of grunting. Like there’s a struggle taking place in your crib… perhaps a strange early morning WWE grudge match? Your daddy said it started at 3:30am again, but somehow I didn’t wake up for it. Although there was a struggle taking place in my dreams. At this point, we have two words for you: duct tape.

UPDATE [Thursday morning]: Well, as your Grandpa G can attest, duct tape can be so useful in so many situations. After your daddy “took care of things” at 11:30pm, we didn’t hear a peep from you until about 5:15am. Don’t worry, sweetie, you’ll soon grow out of this phase…
