Awake Time

It's crazy how fast babies grow up. Seriously! In one day Micah decided that he was going to stay awake more, and he was going to be ok with entertaining himself! We laid him down on the floor on a pillow on his stomach and he slept for a little while, but soon enough he had rolled himself over onto his back and was wide awake...and he just stayed there! I don't know what all he could see because he didn't roll under the play gym, and we have high ceilings, but he was just gazing at the world and he was fine with this for almost an hour!!! All this change in one day! Not like he gradually worked up to the hour, he just decided he was ready for more independence and he went for it.
AND, he wasn't wrapped up! Normally if his arms are not confined close to his body then he cannot handle himself and begins screaming. But, his arms were free and moving, his legs were kicking wildly as if he were riding a bike, and he was so content it was amazing to watch! I think he got more exercise yesterday as he rode his air bike than I have gotten in the past 2 months!
LOVE that boy!!!
