Scooting?

Jayden still hates being on his stomach. He can last a few seconds, if I lay down next to him so that he cannot flip over to his back.  But every day (that I can) I still try to see if he'll figure out that being on his stomach is kind of cool and can one day lead to crawling.  I'm not too hopeful at this point, but he is starting to figure out how to move a little.  Today we were on the floor playing on his play mat and I purposefully put one of his toys slightly out of his reach.  This is how he got there:

I also want to point out that this household contains no fair weather fans - we are fans of our teams through and through.  Even though Duke got knocked out in the first round (even Carmen didn't predict that) and even though today is the national championship game between Kansas and Kentucky, Jayden was still sporting his Duke gear today. 

General update: Jayden had a fever Friday night and into Saturday.  Of course it happens on Friday, after everything is closed.  Carmen and I agonized over whether to take him to Urgent Care or the pediatric ER (by our calculations, the fever was close to 102 degrees).  Finally, I texted Maya who called me immediately (I love her for many reasons, but one of them now is that she is so responsive to my baby health questions) while she was at a party in NYC with her brother and her best friend.  Maya talked me through all the symptoms and concluded Jayden probably just had a virus and there was no need to go to the doctor.  She gave us the signs to look for that would indicate that he should go to the doctor, which also made us feel better.  He did not sleep well that night, but his fever had dropped significantly by morning (only 99 or 100).  And by Saturday afternoon he was back to normal.  Saturday night he decided he didn't want to sleep, so he didn't go to bed until 11:15 pm or so.  It was pretty awesome.  And then last night I got him to bed around 8:30 pm.  And he slept until about 7:30 this morning.  That actually was pretty awesome. 

He's also had a terrible time going down for naps; he screams and cries and won't be soothed unless Carmen or I pick him up and rock him.  He has also been congested and coughing for the past few days; because of that, the pacifier is not as effective, since he can't breathe well when it's in his mouth.  We're going to have to break him of this habit somehow, since Julia can't rock him to sleep every time he needs a nap - and really we can't either!

One last picture, for those of you who don't have facebook (mostly the grandmas and grandpas).  We had six month photos taken a week ago - here's a sneak peek of one of them:
