It's official. In the last four days my little man learned to roll over from his back to his tummy. He's been trying for awhile...and he got a little help from gravity when he last attempted it at an incline in his crib. I'm hoping this will lead to further roll-overs on his activity mat and maybe even from his tummy to his back. Ya never know!
He also successfully batted at his Sassy piano rattle and got it to make noise! Mission accomplished.
Smiling. He's been doing lots more of it spontaneously. It's contagious. Sometimes I swear he is even smirking! LJ also occasionally blows raspberries but we're still working hard on the eating front.
We have his 6 month checkup at the pediatrician's first thing next week. So it will be interesting to see what the doc says. But it is so fun to watch him learning new things...and to cheer him on in all his new adventures.
GO LEWIS!! And I know the person who got him that toy. ;)
ReplyDeleteJen & Josh,
ReplyDeleteDave Horowitz here (Rodef Shalom Summer Day Camp and McLean High School). I've been following Lewis' blog for a while now. I had come across Flo Frey a few months ago and she mentioned Lewis and the blog. My wife (Jen) and I had twin boys born 9/28 over at Inova Fairfax, and they stayed in the NICU for two weeks. I just wanted to drop you guys a note and tell you that Lewis and the family are in our thoughts and prayers. Despite his difficulties, it is neat to see the ways Lewis's development parallels our boys': Rice cereal incentivized with Sweet Potatoes, Bumpo seats, sleepless nights and infinite cuteness!
All the best,
Dave and Jennifer Horowitz
