Matthew learned to roll from his back to his tummy.
Has had sleeping issues. For about 2 weeks he started waking up every hour multiple days during the week, but now he is sleeping at night again (Thank goodness!), but he still has trouble with naps during the day. We're working on a schedule and to have him only nap in his crib.
Smiles a ton! and has started laughing and giggling when Mommy eats his toes or tummy during a diaper change.
Loves to have a clean diaper, but farts in it right away, then smiles at you. If he doesn't fart in the diaper right away, it's rare.
Has decided that one of my toy frogs is his lovey. He likes to grab it to suck on its eyes, and to snuggle next to it to fall asleep (especially in his carseat).
Is fascinated by neon/bright colors, especially neon green for some reason. My clock has neon green numbers, and he loves staring at it in the morning if he's in our room.
Is fitting into clothes ranging from size 3 months to 9 month clothes. Mostly 6 month clothing now though, especially pjs which I don't like snug on him, like some of his 3 month outfits.
Has started grabbing toys more and more, and seem to be getting bored of the ones we have. (I'm going to start rotating them so he doesn't have them all everyday).
Will play on his own for 20 minutes if he sleeps and eats well.
Needs at least 9+ hours of sleep at night to be happy in the morning, and 1.5+ hours of sleep at nap time to be happy afterwards.
Slept 8.5 hours straight one night, and 7 hours straight another night because he was so exhausted from not taking naps during the day!
Loves his swing and will fall asleep in it really easily if it's close to nap time, and sometimes just because it's so relaxing.
Likes primary church music, lullabies, and simple melodies.
Does not like church at all! I feel like he's been getting worse, and the only room he really likes in the building is the mother's lounge, but only if it's quiet, which usually only happens if no other babies are in there. I think he mostly doesn't like church because of all the noise and people.
Can almost sit up on his own and seems to want to move around a lot. If he can't get to something he'll start wiggling hard for about 2 minutes, then cry because he's not getting any closer.
