Since our boy doesn't seem to like tummy time,
I invented flying tummy time. He seems to
tolerate it much better!

|
Every man doesn't want pictures of him in some
stupid, cute hat to appear. Sorry son.
|
This month, his ability to hold up his head
was good enough for us to take him on walks
in our BabyBjorn.
|
I noticed that all of the decorations and toys
in the house didn't have lines and patterns. I
thought that he might need some pinstripes or
regular shapes. My wife created some shape
flashcards and hung them on the mirror. He
reaches for them and bends them.
|
I suppose if he was raised by wolves in the
forest, like I was, he wouldn't have patterns
to look at, so maybe he would have ended
up as "normal" as I am. He stares at this quilt
when he wakes up in the morning. You can
buy this quilt at Pottery Barn.
|
His personality has started to lean toward
smiling and playing this month.
|
Here, he is interacting with the baby in the
mirror. This month, he started rolling onto his
side. He has rolled completely over twice
on his floor mat, and once overnight. That's
scary!
|
Above the bed in the nursery, there is a mobile
of butterflies. He loves to watch them.
|
He especially loves to watch them move
when the air conditioning turns on.
|
This month, he has started to grab things
and hold them. He will grab a toy when it is
placed on his stomach, and he will try to cram
it into his mouth.
|
Here, he is cramming a bear into his mouth
and watching butterflies.
|
These are butterflies.
|
This is a shelf load of sundry toys.
|
I still read books to him. The same books.
He doesn't care.
|
Here, the mother human cuddles her young.
Ain't she cute!?
|
This was the first time he "got" tummy time.
I rolled him onto his tummy on the bed, and he
lifted his head right up and started looking
around and up at the butterflies.
|
These simple little milestones make my wife so
excited. Then she gets sad because he is
growing up. It's a total see-saw.
|
After a feeding, he will occasionally fall asleep
with his little bottom lip pooched out. This
is not a great picture of it, but my wife says
that he looks like my side of the family when
he does this.
|
This month, his back grew stronger. He now
can sit in his Bumbo chair. He's a big boy!
