Crazy 8

Walker started rice cereal on Wednesday, August 29. We were all home preparing for Hurricane Issac and fed him 1 tsp rice to 4 tsp milk. He did a good job of eating off the spoon and not wasting much.
Thursday, August 30, Walker had rice cereal for breakfast (1 Tbsp cereal, 3.5 Tbsp milk) and for dinner. I've been trying to keep a log of Walker's eating and sleeping habits so I can figure out his schedule and I've tried to stay consistant at bedtime with a bath, which he LOVES, bottle, then swaddle him for bed (he prefers the swaddle over a sack since the startle reflex wakes him up). Thursday night he went down at 9:15 and woke up at 5:30! That's 8 hours!! My memory is so bad that I had to really think if I had woken before then, but I hadn't! After nursing him for 10 minutes, he slept until 7:30am. I hope this rice cereal is what is helping him sleep and works like this every night!
Friday, August 31 I woke so excited about Walker's 8 hour sleep stretch. We went over to Philip and Stella's for Jane to play with cousin Kathryn (Krafrin as Jane says) and Walker to play with cousin Philip. They came to town Thursday because their power was out in Baton Rouge then their generator quit. Mollie and I were watching the kids in the mud room and I had put walker on an activity mat for some tummy time. I looked back at him and he was on his back. Wait a second... We missed the first roll over. I put him back on his tummy and this time Rose and I saw it. I reached for my video camera and he wouldn't roll over. Go figure.. So, when Hyde came home for lunch, we tried it again with the camera and he did it! Here is the video:
