I have quite a bit of energy today despite being woken up at 4:45 this morning by LP. He was hungry (there's a surprise) and he needed to be changed. He will usually gobble down a bottle and go right back to sleep, but for some reason he was UP, like he's had a double shot of espresso in his bottle. I figured I'd just let him play in his crib while I went back to sleep, but no, the universe conspired against me. LP wanted to practice rolling over. While he can roll from back to tummy with virtually no effort what so ever, going from tummy to back is giving him some trouble. He can do it, I've seen him do it, but sometimes this move throws him for a loop. And then he screeches. I wouldn't call it a full out scream, it's kind of a cross between a goat and that sound my cat makes when I accidentally step on his tail. Instead of waking up the rest of the house with that strange noise, I took LP down to the family room and let him roll his little heart out. I then made a rather large pot of coffee. I guess practice makes perfect because a couple of hours later he rolled across the room. No kidding. I put him down, went to the bathroom and when I came back he was on the other side of the room. I know what I'm doing tomorrow. Childproofing.
LP will be four months old on Saturday. Already. All in all, he's been a pretty easy baby. We had some gas/formula issues in the beginning, but that's resolved itself. He's not super fussy the was the Prince was. He eats. He sleeps. He poops. He smiles. He rolls over. I couldn't ask for a better baby. I'm wondering if it's all going to go to Hell when he starts teething? Honestly, I don't remember much of the Prince's infancy because I was pretty much out of my mind with post-partum depression. I'm trying to take it all in this time and enjoy mah baby. We took more pictures of the Prince though. I've heard that's how it is with number two. You don't take as many pictures, you don't finish the baby book, etc. I'm definitely guilty of that.
On a completely different topic, is anyone planning on having their kids vaccinated for swine flu? I usually get the seasonal flu shot every year. I did this year and I had the Prince vaccinated too. It just makes me a little edgy because it seems like they rushed the vaccine out so fast and I'm wondering if they studied the side effects enough before shipping it out. Thoughts?

No vaxxes here, for the reasons you mentioned. I know this flu can be bad for some.
I'm quite certain Cody's already had H1N1 (not diagnosed, but he fit the symptom profile perfectly AND had pneumonia right afterward); Lilly has been well-apprised of the necessary hygiene. We're also all loaded up on elderberry syrup, oil of oregano, fish oil, vitamin C, etc. And crossing our fingers.
