Today we went to a baby massage workshop. It was being held for health visitors and other childcare workers (one of whom runs the St George's baby group we go to), and Jackson was one of 3 volunteer "models." He was the youngest baby, and the best behaved, since he's not so mobile yet. I learned how to massage him with oil, and he loved it! We will try make it a regular thing at home as he seemed to really enjoy it and slept for ages afterwards.
The big news, though, is that he has really started rolling onto his tummy from his back! He does this constantly when on the play mat, so we really have to watch him. Sometimes he manages to roll himself back onto his back from his front.
Jackson has also started "talking" a lot as of last week. He talks to people, and sometimes he just rambles on to himself. This is both funny and annoying when it happens in the dark at 5am.
On Monday, he slept in his cot for the first time. This was just for an afternoon nap, but soon he'll have to make the big move out of our room at night (or for most of the night!), as his Moses basket is getting a little bit cramped.
Someone else has discovered the cot, though, and already sleeps there regularly:
But that's ok. Plenty of room for all!
