This has been an incredible journey, and I thank all who have joined me in it! The feedback has been fantastic, and I’m so glad to have you share this remarkable adventure. This past month has proven to be a time of even more milestones in my infant son’s development. How is it that infants can grow so much in such small time?
You continue to grow so quickly. The factor that amazes me most about your last month of development is your capability to notice everything around you, and then grab for any and everything! What once employed to be an effortless trip to a restaurant now proves to be a lot a lot more of a challenge. Your capability to seek some thing out and then grab it in an instant is remarkable! My beverage, plate of food etc. should be on the other side of the table, or you are diving forward to grab it.
You are significantly far more intrigued by things now, and are beginning to explore more. For instance, my earrings and grandma’s glasses are effortlessly captured, and need to be removed just before holding on to you. If you do get a hold of them, they go immediately to your mouth.
Rolling over has turn out to be significantly less difficult, and you’ve almost reached the objective of rolling from your back to your front. Many times now, I’ve seen you roll to the side to grab some thing. If it weren’t for your arm obtaining in the way, you would have discovered your way over to your stomach by now. It won’t be long!
I thought that feeding you last month was hard, but has it ever turn into a lot more of a challenge now. Both your grandma and aunt made note of that as well when they were taking care of you and trying to give you a bottle. They both asked me, “How on earth do you feed this boy? He is so nosey!” I just just agree, and say that I do the very best I can. It’s quite a trick to hold the bottle and move it along with your constantly moving head.
You are beginning to pick up on social routines now. When you are holding on to something, you like to put both hands up over your head. When you do that, we say “So big!” You then smile, and put your hands back down. Seconds later those little arms are stretching up high again. I haven’t yet seen you put your arms up simply because we say “So big,” but that should come soon as well. Yet another small game you like to play is “peek-a-boo.” We are at a very early stage of it, but you believe you are hilarious. When you are under a blanket and I pull it off, you look around like “Here I am world” with a glowing face, making certain that everybody is watching.
The mornings are significantly far better now. When you wake up, you lay in bed and practice talking. This happens after your naps now, too. It’s so nice to be at the stage where you don’t need to eat the second you get up.
You have eaten your 1st solids. That procedure is so wonderful to me as well. The first spoonful that went into your mouth instantly came out, as you had no idea how to use your tongue for swallowing. You pulled the funniest face, and your sisters got a huge kick out of that. Now you are able to get about half the food down although the rest goes all over your bib, which you like to pick up and smear all over your face. It’s quite a messy method. You have no notion how to drink from a sippy cup yet, but we occasionally put one in front of you just to keep trying.
