A couple weeks ago was a big week for Carson. Not only was it his first time being sick, he also sat up for the first time and rolled over. Starting with the sickness, he started coughing occasionally but it sounded like a fake cough so I didn't think anything of it other than it was really cute. A few days later it became more frequent and started sounding bad, then he started to get a runny nose. He is such a good baby even when he doesn't feel good that I didn't think it was that bad until he was up for most of the night. Then, I spoke to my sister Trina and she said her boys would cough when they had ear infections. So I took him into the doctor the next day and luckily it was just a cough and congestion. He took some cough medicine and was pretty clingy to me but other than that, he was a trooper.
On to more exciting news. Carson sat up for the first time on his own when we were heading to bed one night. For a long time now, he has been trying to pull himself forward when he was propped up on something so I knew it wouldn't be long before he was sitting up. What surprised me though was that he was more anxious to sit up than he was to roll over. Again, for a while now he has been rolling onto his sides when he lifts his legs up in the air. And he would occasionally rolled over if he was on a incline on the bed but I think that was just more accidental. His lack of desire wasn't for lack of trying on our part. We always put him on the floor and on his tummy but he would just fuss and fuss till we turned him over. I just figured he would do it when he was ready. So then, the next morning after sitting up, he rolled over like he had been doing it all along.
