Another Milestone!

This is so exciting!  Today marks the day when Jakson first rolled over from back to front!  He's not even four months yet and he can roll both ways - front to back and NOW back to front.  I can't believe it!  All of the reading I've done says babies don't typically rollover from back to front until around 6 months.  And Jakson is doing it well before his 4 month birthday!?  This must be special ;)  He also loves to "stand up" as you can see from this video:

And here is a quick video of Jakson rolling over from front to back:

The last week has been quite exciting and fun for us as Rob was on holiday.  We had many grand plans and things we wanted to do, first we talked about a trip to Spain, Portugal or even France to spend some quality time in the sun.  But in the end we didn't get Jakson's passport sorted in time to go.  I think we were both ok with it as it seems like a lot of agro to travel by plane with a little one and I wasn't sure if it was worth it as i don't think it would be the relaxing beach holiday we remember from pre-baby times...

The next plan was that we'd take a trip down to the south coast of england, thinking either Brighton or Bournemouth.  And we had the best intentions...until the weather poo-poo'd those plans.  It literally rained all week!  So depressing but I suppose it allowed us to get a lot of stuff/errands done we'd been planning to do. So we thought let's get all our stuff done early in the week and if the weather improved by Thursday/Friday we would take a long weekend down to the coast.  Wrong again!  About mid-week I started developing a nasty cold and within 24 hours Rob had it as well.  We both felt awful (and still sort of do) so our plans for a little weekend getaway were a distant memory!

By the end of it all we ended up not doing much of anything, which i suppose is ok.  Rob got to spend some quality time with Jakson, I got to catch up on sleep and we have a well advanced baby on our hands.  Seems all is well in the world, eh?  So now we look forward to September when we are thinking of going away to Spain...at least we hope.  And this time we've made sure Jakson's passport won't be an issue.  We got is passport photos this week (one of our many errands).  Look at the little chunky baby:

And here are some other photos from our fun this week:

Other exciting happenings of recent include Rob and I having our first night away from baby Boo to attend a wedding.  Jakson spent a whole 24 hours with Nanny, Grandad and Auntie Clare.  And by all accounts he was very good indeed.  And I think Rob and I enjoyed ourselves as well - on the evening at least.  It's safe to say that the following day was a bit rough but luckily we were at Rob's parents to pick-up Jakson so we could take naps and recover.  Here are a couple of shots of my work lot enjoying the post-wedding festivities:

We also believe Jakson to be teething these days, which I'm gutted about.  I love his gorgeous gummy smile.  He is drooling EVERYWHERE and constantly chewing on his hands.  He also has a little chapped, red cheek from all the drool which is a sure sign of teething.  Now I know this can be normal for many young boos but there is just something about it that tells me it's only a matter of time before the little teeth start sprouting.  I sure hope I'm wrong!!
