Jacob is making progress

This is mommy and daddy posting together tonight.
Yesterday, March 15th, while having some tummy time on mommy and daddy's bed, Jacob rolled over from his tummy to his back for the first time. It was a roll over in stages. First he rolled on to his side and it took him a while to realize what he had just done. After being on his side for a short while, he eventually made it all the way to his back. Mommy was so excited and she was wanting to call daddy into the room, but he was in a very important meeting and she didn't want to disturb him. Daddy will be able to see him the next time though!
Today, Cousin Anissa came over in the morning and spent the day with Jacob. She was playing with Jacob a lot (and was a lot of help to mommy:) ). This evening the Duran's came over for dinner and to meet Jacob. We had a great dinner with them.
Jacob is getting so much bigger every day. He smiles throughout the day now, not just in the morning anymore. This evening he had a full "conversation" with his Papa at the dinner table. It was so cute to see the two of them interacting with each other. He is starting to really like his toys, mostly stuffed animals. His favorites so are are these two elephants, why elephants, I'm not sure, but he smiles the most at the elephants. He also like a little monkey, but not as much as Mr. Elephant. He is also somewhat fascinated by a toy shaped like a star. He's not quite at the stage of reaching for the toys, but he will follow the toys with his eyes and stare and smile at the ones he really likes. Jacob has been sleeping really well at night. For the past couple of nights he has been sleeping for 8 hours straight. We are really excited about this because we are getting more straight hours of sleep. He is going to sleep at 7pm and waking up at 4am for a feeding. Now if we can just adjust his clock a little to have him fall asleep at 9 and wake up at 6, we would be REALLY happy campers! But we'll take what he's giving us for now!
The weather has been really nice lately so Jacob has been on several walks with his mommy and daddy. He loves to go in the backyard with his daddy and listen to the birdies chirping. The other night daddy BBQ'd turkey burgers. Jacob wanted to watch his daddy, so he sat in his swing next to daddy and then we had dinner outside while Jacob was swinging away. We can hardly wait until the Spring and Summer when we can have more days like that.
Mommy and daddy love you!
