I am sorry that I haven't posted lately...having a toddler doesn't leave much time for blog updating or for looking at my friend's blogs. I feel so out of touch with all of my blogger friends who are also adopting from Russia...I will try to take some time today to catch up on everyone's lives.
Roman is doing great!! He loves his red convertible that his Grandma & Aunt gave him (on left).
He has gained some weight and is no longer as pale as a ghost...in fact, he has a little tan. Even with 50 sunscreen on...
He is now sleeping in his crib all the time...it is still in our room, but it is farther away from the bed. When we first started this transition, I would lay next to him with Roman in the crib and me on the bed with the railing down...I would rub his back. It seemed like he w
oke up 10 or 15 times a night. Well, now...we just lay in my bed together while he has his sippy cup of milk and read "Goodnight Moon" and then say good night to all of the things in the room. Then, I give him kisses and put him in his crib...sometimes he cries for a minute or two, but usually he just lays there and I leave the room. He falls asleep right away....
Sometimes he wakes up a couple of times during the night, but mostly he just sleeps right through...now we start moving the crib even further away from our bed and then out of our room...
Roman went to his first softball game last week...Mommy & Daddy play on a co-ed team for Mommy's work. It was REALLY hot...almost 95 degrees. I am not really playing this season, so I sat with him and tried to keep score...We have another game tonight, but Erica & HAylee are coming to help keep Roman happy :) I am a commish of the league and the co-coach of the team, so it is hard for me to sit still. He is Roman bearing the heat...he wants to go home.
Roman also had his first trip to the pool...HE LOVED IT!!! I am so excited that my son is going to be a water baby. He also loves his Little Tikes water table...likes to sit in it though :) He also loves his froggy shades...he will keep them on for an hour or more.
Okay...gotta get some work done while Roman is sleeping...
