Rolls and Raspberries

Today Sawyer was lying on his tummy, and started fussing.  Dan said, "Well if you're unhappy this way, just roll over."  So he did.  Twice.  Burn!

Also: we now know Sawyer has inherited his dad's love of fart humor. Note his style: he takes his cue, looks into the camera, and lets loose. And he knows the secret: fart jokes just keep getting funnier the longer you do 'em.

Sawyer's not eating solids yet, but he got a preview of things to come. If only we would feed him something other than plastic toys...

Cosmo's funny!

Today Sawyer laughed at Cosmo for the first time.  When Cosmo would grab his big ball and shake his head, Sawyer would giggle.  Dan and Sophie shook their heads and made Sawyer laugh, too.  But his heartiest laughs were when Cosmo gave the ball a good thrashing.

Milestones!

Sawyer hit some cool milestones this week.

On (or about) April 8th, he rolled over for the first time, kind of by accident.  He was sitting up on his forearms, and toppled over when craning his head to try to look at his mobile.  He rolled over again around the 13th.  He's only done it once since, so he's not too accomplished at it. It also took a LONG time on the 13th -- at least a minute or two. He still hasn't figured out that the real key is getting the underneath arm out of the way.

A day or two later, he started having his first "conversations." Of course, the only word he's using is "raspberry," which he's been saying for a while. But the new development is that he'll raspberry, wait for you to respond with a raspberry of your own, then he'll rebut your raspberry with one of his own! He gets a big kick out of (and, of course, so do we).

Last: on Wednesday this week (April 15th), he had his first Music Together class. He slept through the first third of it, but after that had a terrific time watching mom and dad singing, dancing, and playing with musical instruments. He liked the shaker eggs and the clicky shells (both of which he put right into his mouth).

Infectious laugh!

Is there anything more infectious than a baby's laugh?

You be the judge!
