Week 41 - Take Charge!

Week 41 - Take Charge!
(5/23/10 - 5/29/10)


This week was a week of big changes. Andrew really went from a helpless little baby this week to a "take charge of my own destiny" type of little boy. As everyone knows babies are notorious for being pretty helpless. They are born not being able to do really anything other than eat, sleep, and poop. Then they get a little older and it takes all of their energy just to lift their hand, and even more energy to actually get that hand to move, reach, and then grab what they want.

Andrew has successfully completed all of those tasks and then some. But this week he achieved one HUGE milestone that really separates him from the "babies". He can get himself into a sitting position all on his own. He has been rolling from front to back since about 5 1/2 months old, been sitting since around 6-6 1/2 months, and has been getting up on all fours for about a month. But he just figured out how to combine all of these items into allowing him to achieve a goal...SITTING!!!!

It is a HUGE milestone for me because now when he falls over or needs to sit and chew things or play he doesn't need me. This milestone allows him to be very independent. I am very proud of him for achieving this goal, I don't know when a baby is supposed to do this so I don't know if he is ahead or behind the curve but regardless I think he is ONE SMART COOKIE!!!

Check him out =
