Ford is thriving at school (aka daycare). Unfortunately, his immune system is not. He's had a cold for about three weeks with fluctuating symptoms, and we found out at the doctor today that he has a mild ear infection. Booo! Luckily, he hasn't shown any signs of discomfort and continues to act like his normal, happy self.
- The exersaucer! He's new to the exersaucer, but he seems to really like it. He likes to push off the ground with his feet and bounce, and he likes to hold onto the toys in front of him. I think this will be a favorite as he gets older.
- Holding his bottle and pacifier. Ford has learned he can do things with his hands other than suck on them and watch them move. He likes to hold his bottle but he lacks control, so he usually ends up pushing it out of his mouth. Last night he was making me laugh because he had both hands on his pacifier and he would take it out, look at it, then put it back in. Repeat. I just love to watch him learn!
The Bumbo. He can't hold his torso up yet, so when he's in the Bumbo he slumps to the side, and then he gets cranky. From the very beginning I knew he would be an active child, so it's no surprise that he's not crazy about sitting in the Bumbo. He'd rather be in a position where he can kick and move. Even when I hold him sitting up, he always has those legs moving. I'm not giving up on the Bumbo just yet, but it may take some time for him to come around to it.
- Wiggling! He recently started rolling onto his side. He's soooooo close to rolling over, but hasn't quite made it all the way yet. What he can do, though, is throw those hips and kick those legs enough to scoot sideways. Every morning we find him in his crib having turned 90 to 180 degrees. He's our little wiggle worm.
