Today, I used my fingers on purpose! This morning, I used them to pull on my pacifier clip while Mommy was exercising. I tried to put my pacifier back in my mouth, but I couldn't get it to the right spot. This afternoon, I used my fingers to pick up the links that Mommy put in my lap while I rode with her to Wal-Mart. These fingers are fascinating! I'm still having trouble with one thing, though, as you'll see in my picture-I keep letting my arms and legs hang out of my crib. It's very embarrassing because I have to be rescued every time!
Last night, I slept through the night for the very first time. At least, that's what Mom says. She fed me at 10:30 p.m., and I didn't wake up to eat again until 5:30 a.m. Today I learned how to open my right hand so I could feel the furry animals in my baby animal book. Like I said before, life just keeps getting better and better!
A couple of days ago, Mommy took my bumper pad out of my crib because I kept getting stranded with my face against it. (When I cry, I scoot myself around the crib by kicking...but when I get stuck, I need help!) Tonight I was crying and trying to go to sleep, but when I scooted around, I got stranded with my feet against the rungs on one side of my crib, and my head against the rungs on the other side. (Gosh, I'm getting tall...) Ouch! It hurt! I screamed so that Mommy rescued me. Whew! 

I went to the doctor today and the doctor said I was very progressed in my ability to roll over and hold my head up for my age. He also told me I'm in the 97% percentile in length and head size while being only in the 40% of weight. I'm a long skinny guy - let's hope that holds and I get my mom's genes. 
Yesterday, Mommy and Daddy and I got up in front of the whole church! I got to wear my great-grandpa's gown that he wore when he got baptized a long time ago. (I guess boy babies don't wear gowns anymore, huh?) Mommy and Daddy promised to bring me up to know God, and everybody prayed for me. I hope Mommy and Daddy do a good job! 
Tonight, after Mommy and Daddy put me to bed, I filled my diaper instead of falling asleep. They got me up to change it...and little did they know that it had exploded up my back! Hee, hee! It sure was hard to fall asleep after being stripped naked and cleaned up with freezing cold baby wipes. My ploy for attention worked! :)
