Josiah really loves the Baby Einstein DVD's I got him last weekend. Shelby isn't so sure! She's always watched TV and knows instantly when there is an animal, especially a dog... she goes nuts... so I don't know who was more focused on this one, Josiah or Shelby!

11 Weeks Old - Photos
Notice that both of their eyes are aiming at the same thing (the Michigan football game) - Josiah loves to watch football already! Surprise, surprise! :)

Another Milestone
Josiah actually rolled over for the first time when he was 4 days old... but since we obviously didn't expect that to happen during his first "tummy-time", we didn't catch it on video. I'm kinda bad about remembering to do "tummy-time" often, so it had been a while, but I put him down today, and look what he did!
He did it about 5 times in a row... and just to prove it.. here's another video... he wasn't too happy about it this time:

Consignment Sale
So I'm feeling really bad that I didn't tell everyone about this consignment sale I went to today so you could have joined me. I promise I wasn't trying to hoard all the good stuff... I had just talked with so many people about it that I didn't realize how many of you I had NOT mentioned it to. Well, it's put on by Tidewater Mothers of Multiples every Spring & Fall... So the next one is in April. I will surely let you know when they set the date because it's a GREAT sale. You have to get there early & get in line, but it's very worth it. I went to both this year. There are tons of great children's items: toys, clothes, gear... all in good shape & cheap! I've been to other consignment sales, but this one beats them all.
I just started looking up some of the items I got to see how much they are regularly priced... oh my goodness!!! $469 worth... for $75! Now I'm even happier with my purchases!
Leap Frog Music Activity Table: $6 (retail: $45)
Fisher Price Puppy Pal: $5 (retail: $25)
Dragon Ball Pit: $5 (retail: $68)
Neurosmith Together Tunes Cube: $6 (retail: $75)
Fisher Price Gator Xylophone: $5 (retail: $40)
Soft Blocks Set: $5 (retail $25)
Fisher Price Peek-a-Blocks Set: $5 (retail: $25)
Infant Play Fish Bowl: $3 (retail: $25)
2 Pair 12 Month Robeez Shoes: $7 each (retail: $24 each)
Sleep Positioner: $2 (retail: $13)
5 Baby Einstein DVD's: $19 (retail: $80)

Oh Happy Day!
8 HOURS STRAIGHT! Yep, I said 8 hours! Josiah slept from 9:15pm-5:15am and then even went back to sleep for another 2 hours after that. I'm just a little bit excited! :)
I only slept 5 hours because I stayed up late and got up early to go to this awesome consignment sale. Soooo worth it! I got tons of stuff... basically everything I wanted to get him for Christmas, 5 Baby Einstein DVD's, and more and I spent only $79. Such a good day!
Now hopefully Michigan will beat Michigan State this afternoon and we'll be one happy family! :)

Glorious Sleep!
We've been very fortunate that Josiah never really had his days & nights mixed up. He knows that night-time is for sleeping...even if it was in short increments. Until this week, he'd eat, sleep about 3-4 hours, eat, sleep 2-3 hours, eat and then sleep another 1-2 hours. So about 8-9 hours total... but it does still wear on you when you haven't slept more than 4 hours straight in 10 weeks!
We had a breakthrough this week! I increased the amount he was eating at each daytime feeding by 1 oz. and Wednesday night he slept for 7 1/2 hours straight! And then went back to sleep for another 2 1/2 hours right after that! Woohoo!! Of course, I didn't benefit quite yet since my body was still used to waking up sooner... I had to check to make sure he was okay several times! Last night wasn't quite as long, but he did 5 hours, 2 1/2 & then 2... still an improvement!
Oh and did I mention that he is also now sleeping in his crib in the nursery?! (As opposed to the pack-n-play bassinet in our bedroom.) We're hoping this new sleep extension is here to stay!
He definitely doesn't like to fall asleep. Most naptimes start with a fight, but we're learning to just press through it and he's usually asleep within 5-10 minutes. Now if we could just get Shelby to quit barking and waking him up, we'd be in great shape. Anyone want a free Papillon?? :)

10 Weeks Old
It's hard to believe Josiah is almost 11 weeks old! Here are a couple of pictures of him with his friend Katie (Melissa Scott's little girl who is 3 days younger than Josiah)... plus a few other cute pictures from this week.
"Woah... look at that pretty girl!"
"Woah... look at that pretty girl!"
"Um... mommy, we didn't get our V8 today... help!"
"Much better!"
"Look at me sitting up! I like my Bumbo"
"I'm really starting to fill this thing out!"
"Awwww.. I love my snuggly cow"
