Mateo has started "cooing" in earnest recently. That's what they call it when they start to make noises other than crying! He has clearly mastered the crying part and believes that practicing it regularly will help him keep up his skills. His favorite coo to make these days is "ah-goo, ah-goo". It is so cute.
Also, he's started to smile a lot more at us, and has rolled over like 6 times! He can only roll from his tummy to his back and only when he manages to plant his left foot in just the right place. It's clearly by accident at this point, but it's so cute to see the surprised look on his little face as he goes over.
In other matters, we narrowly escaped a house break-in this week. Someone managed to jimmy open one of our kitchen windows while Sacha was out and Alayna was home with the baby. We think the would-be robber saw Sacha come in the front door and ran for it, leaving a shovel and a cigarette butt in our yard, as well as lots of large, muddy footprints. The thought of what could have happened was pretty sobering. We're looking into making our house more secure and have had several people suggest getting a dog....which we are thinking about. If anyone has any suggestions, we'd love to hear them.
We're heading down to California for the holidays and are looking forward to spending some time with both of our families down there.
