Rollovers -- Originally Published December 6, 2007

We have no nurse today, so I need to make this quick. Michael's reflux seems to be in better control these days, but he is refusing to take a morning nap that is longer than 20 minutes. I'm beginning to suspect that it might be the new medication, but that seems a bit farfetched.

On the developmental side, Michael volitionally rolled himself from back to front yesterday morning, and he has recently learned "directional kicking". He thinks it is fun to make his feet hit things. And we thought feeding him through a tube was hard before!

Tomorrow is our pre-surgery appointment with the plastic surgeon, where we will hopefully learn the answer to questions about recovery time, new bottles, pacifiers, reflux and restraints.

One last request before the holidays -- Michael and I had to have two trees taken down because they were rotten. Unfortunately, after two weeks, we were only able to stack a portion of the wood on our woodpile, and much of it is still in the yard where the trees were cut down. If anyone has a teenager who would like a little extra cash or some pizza, we could use some help to get this task put to bed.

Best to all of you!
