On a roll...(sort of)

Tonight, Dexter made a breakthrough in the first stages to becoming more mobile....

We were on the floor together playing and for a few moments I got distracted (we were watching penguins on TV). When I looked back, Dexter had managed his very first roll!!!! or at least a half roll, from his back to his side :)

I wanted to make sure it wasn't a fluke so I rolled him back and laid next to him for encouragement. Once again, he managed to roll onto his side and face me.

I started yelling up the stairs "Shane, Shane come and look at this" thinking you know full well he won't do it for me now *rolls eyes* but yet again, he rolled onto his side and just laid there for a few moments before rolling himself back.

YAY! my big grown up boy, I'm so proud of him xx

Three Months Old

Another month has passed us by and today, our beautiful son has been out in the world and part of our family for 3 whole months!! Here are the latest developments:

• I am pleased to say that for the past month, Dexter has consistently slept through the night. Mummy & daddy are more than happy to get so much sleep and we're so proud of our little man for getting to this stage so quickly.

• As his muscles are getting stronger now, when pulled into a sitting position Dexter can keep himself upright and support his own weight (obviously with a little help). He much prefers being upright now so he can see everything, he's so nosey.

• Dexter seems to have well & truly found is voice now and he's not afraid to use it!! He loves to make noise and exercise his vocal chords these days, it's very cute... but he usually he decides to start when you reeeaaalllyy want to watch something on TV haha. He now also knows the difference between when he needs to cry to show he needs something and when to just SHOUT because he wants something. My clever little monkey :)

Over a month has passed since Dexter had his check-up at the doctors but a couple of days ago, finally, we got another weigh-in when the health visitor came round. We knew he was growing by the day as Dexter started wearing his 3-6 month clothing over 3 weeks ago now but we were more than pleased to find out that he now weighs 14lb 6.5oz!!!

My little boy is growing up so fast and as sad as it is that he is no longer my tiny newborn baby, each new milestone we are heading towards makes the future so exciting. I can't wait to see what comes next.... xx
