So I had mentioned before that I was a little concerned about Caleb sleeping on his tummy when he was only at such a young age. Of course then the assurance that it was all ok by other mothers was, well, reassuring.
So he’s been sleeping on his front this whole time.
With his little stunt of falling off the bed recently, it’s obvious then that he’s already developed the super human power of rolling. And just in the last week, he’s moved on to doing that in his sleep as well now.
Not that there’s any real concern about this, only that, as with all super powers, one has to practise to perfect it. In our little man’s case, he still gets his arm stuck behind his back when he (tries but obviously can’t go all the way) rolls onto his back.
I am only aware of this because he starts crying, waking Hot Mummee and I up. While I could go reach for my camera to capture this grimace (Caleb’s, not wife’s) and his “missing” arm, I don’t think Hot Mummee would appreciate the delay in rectifying this discomfort (wife’s, Not Caleb’s) pronto.
So then, here’s a shot of the little man, in the few times he’s successfully managed to roll over onto his back in his sleep. It’s okay, this was during sane hours, so I was still awake.
These shots were taken in almost dark surrounds; shutter set to 15 seconds. Notice the barricades around him these days??
On a totally unrelated note, I took Caitlin swimming this morning; again, the first time in a while, due to either her coughing or busy weekend schedules.
This is the second time we are using this hooded towel with her. Should have got this long time ago rather than using normal towels and wrapping her up like a Japanese handroll worrying about her getting cold…
Enjoy!

Pink PJs!!
But that aside, at least Caleb wakes you up to move his stucked arm! I know one kid who just slept on with his NUMB arm stucked underneath and when he woke up, the cyring lasted for quite some time until he could move his arm again!
But gotta admit, the waking up bit sure isn’t nice at all!
Nice idea about the hooded towel! And Big C sure looks happy!

Yeah, pink pj’s! The symptom of hand-me-down’s!
The waking up IS a hassle; I haven’t had a restful uninterrupted sleep for a long time now…..
ZZZzzzzzz…

Oh, sleeping babies are the sweetest!
Micah got to sleeping on top of the pillows used as barricades and one he actually fell off and landed on the floor. These days I I wake up in the middle of the night to see if I need to reposition my 2 boys.
Caitlin looks so grown-up!
Nice hooded towel. Where did you get them?
Moomykins last blog post..Well, I…Zzzzz

I got the hooded towel either in Target or KMart in Sydney. I was actually hunting for a mini bathrobe also for after swimming but couldn’t find one… This one is actually just a big bath towel with a hole cut out in the middle, and a hood attached.

Ah….just cruising and saw these pics of my beautiful niece and nephew….aren’t they just adorable. Love that “towel cum bathrobe” thingy on Caitlin. She looks so picture perfect. Big smile, half-deflated ball(?) ….Caleb sleeps. By the way I notice you take lots of picture of him sleeping….why?

I took these ones above because he had only started sleeping on his back recently here.
I take him asleep because otherwise he wont keep still!
