I need to start taking BEFORE pictures

Every night I put Cason down the same way. I lay him down on his blanket with his head the same way every night, on my left, wrap him up in his blanket, and give him his pacifier (he's always parallel with his crib). The tail end of the blanket I flip up onto his body. I do it the same way every night. Well for the past five or so days he's slept through the whole night...or should I just say I haven't needed to go in at all to make any adjustments. And I think that's given him plenty of time to move around all on his own because for the past three mornings I have found him in different sleeping arrangements-

Tuesday morning-now horizontally. When I came in he was sucking on his blanket and laying on his pacifier
Wednesday morning-he is now laying with his head on the right and not on the left...but still wrapped. How on earth does this happen??
Thursday morning (this morning)-horizonal again and sucking on his blanket...again.
How on earth does he get in these different positions? Would anyone like to stay up all night and watch how my baby moves in the middle of the night for me? Maybe I should invest in a video camera with long battery power? Or probably just keep taking pictures and laughing about it...although maybe I should start taking pictures of him when I put him down for some before shots!

My baby-rollin over!

Last time I tired to post a video it didn't work out but I've had some requests from those who don't get to see Cason very often to post a video of him rolling over so I'm gonna give it another shot. Hopefully it works so you'll be able to see. This video is old, mid-February, but it still looks the same today. Although the other day he was on his back and looked like he was trying to roll over onto his belly so maybe I'll be able to post another video of him rolling onto his belly soon. Enjoy!

Help!

I need your opinion, I'm stuck in rut and I don't know what to do so for those who would like to offer your opinion I would truly appreciate it-what should I do?
I think I've always held my friendships to a high standard and growing up that seemed okay but now that I'm older and have had so many friends come and go I find myself being frustsrated with the friends that aren't very good at keeping in touch, especially the ones that seemed "close". Recently I've gotten an invitation to where a gift would be expected for a friend who was once upon a time very close. But now, years later, I hardly talk to this person anymore. They say they'll call but they never do and when they email they are short and hardly contain any information worth responding to. Now I have an invitation on my counter for this person and my dillema is that I feel like the only reason I've been invited is for my gift. However they were once upon a time a good friend and I just hate that I never hear from them unless they need something from me. I want to be that good person who can push that stuff aside and still be there for them when they need me...however I don't know if this is an occassion where I would consider that they truly "needed me". Anyway, so like I said I need your help. What should I do? What would you do? Go to be the better person? Or ignore the invite? You can comment or put your answer in the poll on the top left of my blog. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Torn and Confused

Good morning sleepy head

The other morning I went into Cason's room and found him sleeping like this- This is so funny because he usually sleeps parallel with his crib and he's wrapped every night. I was amazed to find him completely out of his blanket, turned around, and completely spread out. What a crazy boy. I can't help but wonder how he got so turned around. Sure does look comfortable though doesn't he?

Hello March!

I just love this sweet face! And I definitely can't get enough of these chubby cheeks! I am so in love!Cason has been working on sitting up all by himself. I often put him in between my legs that way I can help support him. Well last week I got brave and tried to let Cason sit all by himself- He did pretty good but then he started to lean forward and he caught himself right before he'd fall flat on his face and he always tries so hard to pull himself back up. He can get just far enough up to not topple over but it doesn't last too long before his little muslces give in.Can you tell he's ready for a nap? He gets so mellow at this point and I can't even get a little smile out of the guy. He sure is cute though. And I once again...cannot get enough of these cheeks! I am just so in love with them!
Oh, and Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss, we'll be reading some of his books today in his memory.
