Speaking of tummy time, Collin is really using his arms and hands now. Within less than 10 minutes of putting him on his tummy, he scoots around to more than 45 degrees from the position he started in. He is not turning over much these days without a reminder of how to do it.
He is "talking" more and does this much more in the mornings than any other time. He even screams sometimes. I was hoping we could skip this phase.
Sucking on his fingers, wrist and anything else he can put into his mouth is a priority these days. If he gets your fingers, he will try to put these in his mouth too. We used to think this was cute but try not to let him do this right now because he has thrush again. Yep, that's right. The thrush came back so I am back to sanitizing everything he touches everyday. This also killed any milk supply I had left so Collin is on 100% bottles these days.
He is trying to sit up on his own more and more recently. If is lying in our laps, he does crunches to try and sit up and see what is going on. Last night, he sat up in dad's lap unassisted for a moment before falling backwards but it sure did seem like a long time to us.
He is still not sleeping through the night even though he is eating more which includes rice cereal around the 7:30pm eating time. He will sleep for a 4 hour period which is better than nothing. Our schedule is different everyday though right now because of the holidays so I am hoping this is one of the reasons for him not sleeping as good. I am back to work this week so that should help get him back on a schedule. I hope this works.....
Happy New Year's Eve....be safe tonight.
