push-ups

Peter has gotten so strong. This evening I was amazed when I put him on his tummy and he pushed himself up, looking around the room eagerly. I guess it had been a few days since I put him on his tummy! He's figured out how to get his fist to his mouth over the past couple of weeks, and even manages to get his thumb in his mouth sometimes. He's also smiling more and more.

This weekend we enjoyed a visit from Dad Mann & Grammy. We met them in Lexington. We had a great time there, touring the town, despite quite a bit of rain. There was plenty of old architecture to admire and we took a tour of Stonewall Jackson's house. We also enjoyed lunch at a cute little bakery, Sweet Treats, just off main street. I had a gyro.

Peter is sleeping better in his crib (actually a Pack-N-Play) now. He's regularly taking naps there and getting onto a better schedule during the day.

Today he took a pacifier just for the sake of taking a pacifier. Previously we've only been able to "sneak" it into his mouth when he's half asleep.
