The head bones connected to the neck bone,
The neck bones connected to the back bone.....


First let me say that I am the proud mommy of a 3 month old today! Can you believe it?

Yep this week Andrew finally mastered the art of holding his head up. He has been working on it for a few weeks, but has finally not only mastered the art of holding it upright in one position but can now hold it upright and turn to look at things. Paul and I put Andrew in the baby bjorn carrier a lot because a) he likes to be held and b) because have you ever held a 17 pound baby for hours a day?? Yeah I know, he is one big kid and since the head control doesn't necessarily equate to back/stomach control too the option of holding him on my hip is still a few weeks away. So even though he has head control you still have to hold him on your shoulder or with both hands! Which gets very tiring. So the bjorn is really nice especially now that we can face him out since his head isn't floppy anymore!

He has also started to try and bat at toys while he lays under his play yard toy. I don't know if he is doing it on purpose yet or just flailing, but he loves it under there and will intently watch the toys as you move them or shake them!
