Tummy Time

Tummy time was always the hardest thing for Tristan, because of his neck.  So it's weird to me to have a baby who at just over a month can hold his head up.  He can get up on his elbows on his tummy, and if you hold him over your shoulder, he likes to peek around with his head up.  It's just crazy!  So I bet he is going to be crawling and walking really fast as well, especially since he has an older brother to watch.

Another cute thing he has started doing is making baby noises.  I mean the real ones, like cooing.  Tracking is starting to get better, he still won't look directly at you, but he watches thing, he'll follow a lit phone back and forth.

The worst?  He's very very needy.  I mean, sometimes it's cute that he wants to be cuddled nonstop.  But not when I'm trying to take care of other things, like Tristan or the house.  If you put him down and he wants to be held still, he lets you know.  And if you try to put him down after he eats, he has a full on meltdown.  Every time!  He has to be snuggled after he eats or his world is over.  It's hilarious, but dang horrible at the same time.  So I usually spend the better part of my day feeding him and holding him.  Thanks though to my mother, we now have a swing that sways instead of rocks, and he loves it.  I just wrap him up nice and tight, put him in, and do the dishes as fast as I possibly can!

But it is fun to see just how much he is growing and changing.  And I can't help but compare his development to Tristan's, and it's always exciting when he does something I remember Tristan doing.
