Three Firsts

Garrett had a few firsts today! He was pretty tired this evening so he fell asleep and when he woke up, he did not cry, he just woke up and looked at us. Before tonight he always woke up hungry or upset about being wet.

After his nap we put him on his play mat for the first time.
Tummy Time
First on his tummy. He can already bring his head up really well. He enjoyed the lights on the mat and music. Then we rolled him onto his back and he stared at the hanging toys. Andrea showed him how each one worked: one spins, one crinkles, our favorite one you pull

down and it vibrates as it retracts. He did not grasp any of them tonight, but he was very intrigued by them.

Finally he had his before bed feeding. For the first time he ate from both sides for a long period without falling asleep. This plus his nap from earlier tells me that he is starting to regulate his sleep, which is wonderful. I am hoping he'll be sleeping more time during the night before I return to work next Monday.
