jackson: still waking up every 2 hours on his own. when will this stretch out?? he has about two times in the day where he's up for like 2 hours, thankfully his schedule is pretty consistent and predictable. we didn't have a schedule with mya but that's because we always let her sleep for the whole day. i'm still getting the broken sleep but again, my body is used to it. he already rolled over TWICE today and he rolled over a few times over the weekend. carlo was thinking it was a fluke but i think he has those muscles and that coordination down now. we're gonna have a runner on our hands soon enough! on my last update i said he'd roll over at about the 2 month mark but looks like he's hit that already. now we'll see when he can roll from stomach to back! physically he can also stand for longer when i pick him up - on Friday i swear he only stood for like 5-10 secs at a time, but just today (3 days later) he stood for a good 10-20 seconds. mentally he...
