Donovan can roll from front to back now. I don't have it on video yet because we have only seen him do it once, but we will try to get it this week. I was very excited though. Brad put him on our bed this afternoon and when he left he was on his stomach. He went back a few seconds later and he was on his back again. So we rolled him onto his stomach and cheered for him until he did it. It was a struggle, but he made it!


He is my little buddy, it seems like we do just about everything together. He especially likes to help me with the laundry

Donovan is getting very good at putting himself to sleep. We have a pretty set routine for bedtime so he knows what is going on. He will whimper or scream for about 10 minutes before he will let himself go to sleep. He is still inconsistent when it comes to sleeping all night. Some nights, he won't wake up and others he wakes up at least twice. I cheated last night and gave him a bottle. I was exhausted and didn't want to fall asleep at church today. We may have to cheat and be inconsistent this week, because we are going to....DISNEYLAND!!! That's right, we will be spending some time at the happiest place on earth. We leave Wednesday evening and get back Sunday. We are very excited about 60 degree weather. We are going with Lenna, Scott, and Mason and we will be sharing a room. I don't want Donovan to keep everyone awake and miserable, so if he wakes up in the middle of the night, I will do what I have to do to keep everyone happy. Don't worry, we will take plenty of pictures to make you all jealous.


Mason came over to our house on Monday and we got some fun pictures and video of Mason reading and Donovan trying to be destructive.
We also had The Hiatt's over for dinner last night and Mason got in the tub with Donovan...Donovan didn't mind it, but Mason wasn't happy.


Donovan has been making strides when it comes to eating. We have cut back on his formula a little and he has been eating breakfast and dinner. We have started on 2nd foods which includes pureed meats...yum! We tried ham the other day and he HATED it. It was the first food I have seen him respond so negatively to. He is so funny when he eats now. He tries to chew the baby food, so I think I might try those biter biscuits soon. I don't want to rush things, but he seems ready to chew!
I know I have mentioned that Donovan loves his soccer ball, this proves it!! Don't ask me what he is doing, I really don't know.

A couple more silly pictures of Donovan, he has recently discovered his tongue and wants everyone to see it!
