Collin's Sleeping Position

Daddy and I have a bedtime routine that involves Collin and did not even realize it until we talked about it the other night. Besides the normal stuff we do before we go to bed (brush teeth, put on PJs, etc), we both LOVE to check on Collin to see what position he is sleeping in his crib. Before we walk in, we place bets on if he has moved in the 1 or 2 hours that he has been asleep before we go to bed. Collin HAS usually moved at least 90 degrees to the right or to the left...usually the right though. Then, during the night, I can hear him moving around. In the morning, it's fun to see where Collin ends up. If Daddy and I are up at the same time, we both peek in on Collin to see how he is laying. One morning Collin's head was the opposite from where he started the night before and in the corner of his crib. He was awake and pulling out all of the diapers I have in a small basket. I guess I need to find a new home for this soon. :) In the mornings, he is either on his back or on one side...never on his stomach. He really seems to prefer his right side....like his mommy. Of course, the majority of the mornings, Collin is awake and quietly playing in his crib and waiting for one of us to come get him. Monday mornings, he is usually asleep though because he is worn out from the weekend activities.

Tonight, he ate oatmeal for the first time. I mixed apples in it and he really seemed to love it. He cried in between spoonfuls in the beginning because I was not feeding him fast enough. Then, he figured out that it really was dinner time. At least he did not gag and cough this time like last night when he "ate" sweet potatoes. He has done this with bananas but not sweet potatoes before. I even mixed at least an ounce of milk in the potatoes to change the consistency and this seemed to help some but he still remembered the recent gagging experience and was hesitant about opening his mouth. Smart little guy.
