So I'm riding the commuter train home and my cell phone rings. It is my darling husband telling me E. Bear rolled and, unfortunately, no one was there to witness it. Two of my fears have now been achieved. 1. I wouldn't be home when he rolled for the first time. 2. No one would be in the room with him to see him do it. :( The story goes E. was in the living room and his Dad was in the office on his computer, Dad noticed it was quiet in the living room, he goes in, and finds E. on his stomach. Dad rolls him back to his back and he rolls again to his front.
I'm so proud of the little guy, but I wish I had been there to cheer him on. I feel like a traitor to him when I go to work. I'm disappointed. It's not like what I do at work matters to anyone, but seeing E. roll for the first time would have been important to both of us.
A gold star for E. and a black mark for Mommy.

A month recap
Wow, I can't believe it has been a month since I last posted. My life was totally consumed by the medical genetics board exam I had to take last week. I'm so glad it's over. I won't find out if I passed until November! What a way to make or break the holiday season. Poor little E. was quite neglected by his Tigermommy, but he had his Daddy to play and snuggle with. I basically was a study and feed baby machine. I'd go to the library for 3 hours, come home nurse E., and go right back to the library for a month straight.
E. is as cute as ever. He still hasn't rolled, but he is eating cereal, sweet potato, and carrots. He has tried pears and bananas but they weren't so well received. He splashes in the bathtub when taking a bath, and sleeps on his side (just like me). He loves to babble, and he loves, loves, loves his doorway jumper. He bounces while I make dinner with a huge grin on his face. He is really getting into the cats too. He likes to pet Aida and watch them walk around. Aida is very good with him, even when he grabs her hair and pulls.
Oh, and I have been on two job interviews. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
