Week 21 - Sittin' Pretty!

Week 21 - Sittin' Pretty!
(1/3/10 - 1/9/10)

This week we have started working on our stomach and back muscles. Andrew is in that phase where he wants to sit up all the time. So the moments of the cuddly little baby are almost few and far between. When he is on your lap he wants to sit up. So I broke out the bumbo seat this week to help him strengthen his muscles. Of course he doesn't like to sit in it for long but we are slowly working towards longer periods of time.

Andrew has also been working on reaching and grabbing for things. He still doesn't grab something off the table or off of the floor. But if something is dangled in front of him he is getting pretty good at batting it and will occasionally grab ahold of it, and almost everything that gets in his slobbery little hands at this point goes straight to his mouth. When he doesn't have a toy to chew on his hands are almost 100% in his mouth!!

I also noticed his feet are starting to make there way up and he almost grabbed a hold of a foot this week too! My how my little boy is changing!

**On a side note, sleeping has been HORRIBLE this week. Something is bothering him, either his teeth, tummy, or some unknown baby problem....either way his wakings have been about every 3 hours at night....so mommy is looking and feeling pretty haggard!
