Happy Birthday, Mike!

Today is Mike's birthday! He thinks he's getting old (and sometimes he does act like an old man), but I look at my parents, and his parents, and they seem quite young to me. (Especially when you have a grandma that's 95!) It's definitely all in your head. We've been talking a lot about "the glass is half-full" in our house lately (sometimes it can be harder to practice that idea, but I think it's a much happier way to view the world). Happy Birthday Mike! We love you. You're 34 years young!

In Benjamin news....he has started rolling over! Oh boy! First he was rolling from his tummy to his back, and that was fine. Now he's rolling from his back to his tummy. We decided it was best not to swaddle him in-case he rolled over in his sleep. And, what did he do? I was so freaked out last night watching him on the monitor (roll onto his tummy), that I brought him into bed with us. I know that's not the answer, and I know I can't stop him now...he's on the move!

Oh, here we go! Watch out world, here comes the Ben Man!

Dara, don't worry about Ben rolling onto his tummy at night. Now that he can roll over from tummy to back (and vice versa) if he is uncomfortable, he'll roll himself over. Oh, and good call on the swaddling...I don't think you'll be able to contain him now! :o)

Happy Birthday, Mike!!
