It's a lovely Fourth here at the Roulston household. Grandma and Grandpa are here and Aunts Katie and Melissa will be coming by later. Lots of meaty goodness will be placed on the grill...and some non meaty stuff too! And, with the exception of the weather, it's a beautiful day.
Leo continues to grow and I just can't get over how big he looks, and how it changes on an almost daily basis. He's taking more and more milk at each feed, I think we're up to about 4 ounces on average at each feed. So he's well over the 20 ounces a day that normal babies eat! Hooray! He's even growing out of many of his newborn attire and moving close to the 1-3 month sized stuff. AND, we've started using the next size up on his cloth diapers. He's huge!!! Well, he's huge to us given how tiny he was.
And, appropriate for this Independence Day, Leo spent last night in his crib, in his room - as opposed to in the co-sleeper attached to the bed. It was as much our own independence day as Leo's. But he did great. He woke up around 2:15 wanting to eat, and was crying loud enough to let us know. So we're feeling very good about this development. I was able to sleep soundly for the first time since we brought him home. I even had dreams! Of course it's very easy to put him in his crib in his room when said room is literally two steps away from our bedroom since our house is so small. But still, a victory nonetheless.
Jay is also hard at work on the temporary "finishing" of the office/guest room downstairs. Just in time for the two Grandma visits in the next couple of weeks. It's amazing how well Tyvek works as a wall covering. And the best part is we can easily access those walls when the time comes that we finally get the electrical inspection done. It's a win-win for everyone!
I hear someone stirring in the other room so I should probably go check on things. Happy Fourth!
