Rolling Over...and over...and over.

I'm really excited that Sebastian has learned to roll over (finally!). However, he can only roll from back to front. All night he is practicing his new skill, which means I get up non stop to roll him back over since he screams when he can't get back to his back. Did this happen to any of you? What do I do? Wait and hope he learns to roll the other way soon? Let him sit there screaming? We do "cry it out" for sleep, but it seems mean to leave him there like a beached whale.

Bye Bye Morning Nap...

Sebastian (6 months) used to take his best nap at around 9am every morning (almost 2 hours!!). Suddenly, he's exhausted at 8:30, so I put him down for what has gotten down to only about 20 minutes. Then he's a disaster the rest of the day because he is so tired and refuses to nap. Did this happen to anyone else? What did you do? Should I put him down earlier or later or just hope this phase passes?

Changing Diapers

Hi All,
I hate to admit this, but I am having a really hard time changing Alex's diaper. (10 months) Every time I lay him down, he turns to his side and crawls away or stands up. It was funny at first, but I'm sure you can imagine how messy and frustrating this is. Does anyone have any advice? I have tried turning the tv on, giving him a toy, etc. and nothing is working. Thanks in advance.

Toy Suggestions?

Does anyone have any good suggestions for toys for a 5 month old? Sebastian doesn't quite sit up on his own, but is getting bored with his playmat. Does anyone have suggestions for interactive toys he might like?

Introduction

Hi Mamas! As I sit here in the middle of this lovely Denver blizzard, I keep thinking about how helpful our playgroup has been! It is so nice to have people who know what you're going though to talk to and get advice. I am starting this blog so we (or maybe just I :)) can ask questions, trade advice, and share experiences.

My first question is about feeding. At what point did you go to 3 meals a day instead of just 2?
