Rollin, Rollin, Rollin

Well now that Kane rolls front to back we have ran into some sleeping issues. Just as he started sleeping through most of the night, his brain decides to keep developing allowing him to start to roll. I was so excited that he started rolling I almost forgot what lied ahead. This is the kind of thing we call "selective memory". Us humans have this uncanny ability of forgetting the rough moments in life, causing for mass hysteria and confusion when something happens (even though we have been through it before)! This describes me at this present moment in time because every night I sit on the couch and bite my nails, hoping he doesn't roll and awake from a sound sleep!
Sure enough I find that my hardcore prayers are not answered yet again and their I go, feeling for the walls while my one eye barely open, creeping through the dark house into Kanes bedroom, all the while tripping over one of the animals, only to greet a happy, wide eyed, smiling, 5 month old! Well you can ask anyone who knows me well and that is don't mess with me when I am sleeping! I am probably the grouchiest grouch you will ever meet in the middle of the night! SO anyway, I flip him back over and peek into his crib just in time for him to roll over again. I swear this kid plays these games with me..and I am starting to realize that we as people do not give our children enough credit for their ability to mess with us parents!
SO that is how my nights have been going which I would like to warn many caffeine drinkers that their is about to be a "drought". I am a walking zombie most of the day but manage to keep a big smile on my face after getting my daily dose of "medicine." So for those of you who depend on caffeine to stay awake..forget it- It's ALL GONE! My name is Julie and I am an addict! Their I said it!
So onto a another sleepless night and caffeine driven day..Thanks baby boy for ROLLIN' like a big boy! I'm a proud, tired, happy, mama!

Let the fun begin!! I love when they reach these milestones, but nap time here has definitely been cut short due to rolling over. Knock on wood, bedtime has not been effected...yet!
