Today we brought out Austin's jumper/activity center that Grandma Helen & Beth bought him. It's pretty neat! He can bounce up and down and the seat spins so he can access all the fun toys. He didn't quite getting the bouncing part yet, but he knew exactly what to do with the toys. He went right to work whacking that frog and making it spin.
I'm so glad I got the combo, cuz there would definitely not be space for both a jumper and a play center. Brian's not even sure we have space for this! And he still has big toys from Christmas that we haven't brought out. Someone wanna buy us a bigger place??
I finally got to see Austin roll over! He rolled over three times last month and I missed all three. And he hasn't rolled over since. But today, after a good nap (I'm convinced he figures stuff out in his sleep) he rolled over several times. And I was lucky enough to get it on video!
Don't mind the overly excited momma voice. Afterwards Austin was looking at me like "What in the world are you so excited about, lady??"
Now that he has belly to back figured out, the next step is back to belly. He's pretty close with that too.
A few weeks ago Austin learned how to "pttthhh!" He greeted me one more with the cutest raspberry ever. The day before he had never even tried and the next day he was an old pro. He must have been dreaming about it all night!
He started out strong, but it has sorta degraded to sticking his finger in his mouth and blowing out. He does that sometimes too when he's done with his bottle or nursing, but I think that's just because he likes to see the milk fly everywhere!
Austin is trying to "off" himself. No matter where you put his blanket in his crib and no matter how many times you take it off his face, this is where it ends up again.
And yes, he can breath like that. Trust me, we check often!
Austin has one long sideburn that Brian desperately wants to cut. A first hair cut would mean my baby is too grown up so I'm resisting with everything that I am hoping that when Austin's hair grows in thicker, it won't be an issue. But for the time being, I figured he could try out some new hairdos to see if we could make the one side look better. What do you think?
"The Donald Trump Combover"
"Half a Flock of Seagulls" or "The Side Ponytail"
Definitely no reason to cut his hair, right?? He can get by with one of those for years!
