Finally, I decided to give the crib a try. I put him in footie pajamas and placed him in his crib after our bedtime routine. He rolled over onto his side and was out! For 10 hours! Thinking it was just luck, he slept 12 hours the next night and about 11 after that. He will only sleep on his side and tummy now. But when he's out, he's out. Sometimes he'll wake up once or twice to eat, but he's still sleeping most of the night.
He started off on his back on his favorite music mat. Now he rolls all over the floor.

Anyway, since has "graduated", it was time to add his name to the bassinet's history of users on my side of the family. The earliest I saw was 1941, but my mom assures me there's a 1939 in there. Some of the names are faded and I didn't feel like straining my eyes.
Alex also got to go to the zoo yesterday, his first time! My first time at the LA Zoo as well. He slept a good chunk of it, but he was awake to see the zebras, giraffes, gorillas, orangutans, and a few others.

He also has been napping great in the crib and sometimes in his swing (sometimes- he usually needs his chicken lovey blanket to get to sleep in there). I try to nap with him but usually find myself laying down with my eyes closed for an hour. Like earlier. Now I'm blogging and will try again- though he's been out for 2 hours, so I know he will wake the moment I drift to sleep.
Playing with Daddy
Fishies at the pet store- his first time seeing them!
Smiling on his way to his doctor's appointment- had no clue he was getting shots.
He just keeps growing! Do they always do this? Can't he stay small?
