Firsts

TJ giggled on Monday. Mommy missed it. Daddy missed it. Grandma Reno was able to get him to giggle. I was in the shower getting ready for work when it happened. Luckily, he did an encore performance when I got out. It was quick little heh-heh-heh, and it is a sound I will never forget. Now we've gotta just get him to do it for Daddy.

I was pretty bummed when I wasn't there for his first giggle, and it made me sad to realize that there may be a lot of "firsts" I'm going to miss now that I'm back to work. My boss, a very successful working mom herself, had some great advice, though. Whenever I hear or see him do something for the first time... it's the first time I've experienced it with him. And it doesn't matter that he's done it before... it's the first time for me and it will be just as amazing. She has a great point.

TJ got his first cold last Wednesday. He's doing much better... just a stuffy nose... no fever or chest congestion. He's such a smiley baby that you could really tell he didn't feel good those first few days. Nothing you did could make him grin. Now, he's back to his happy TJ self. :)

Another first -- TJ spent the first night in his crib Sunday night. He did awesome. Mommy felt a little weird not having him in there... but he had a great night.

TJ's such a big boy now at 15 weeks. He sits up by himself when we prop him up, and he's really trying to roll over. He gets on his side, but can't get over that shoulder quite yet. It's so funny because he grunts and grunts as he tries to roll over, then he gets frustrated when he can't do it. (Sounds like his Mama!) I have no doubt that it will happen soon.
