Development Updates

As of last night, Trent can sit up on his own... for several minutes.

Have I mentioned that his fine motor skills have greatly improved? He will be playing video games in no time. He has mastered the pull-down monkey.

He will be 6 months next week. How he got to be 18 pounds, I don't know. When he falls asleep and becomes dead weight... damn, he is heavy!

Trent rolls to his tummy with ease. Rolling to his back? Not so much.

He will lean to get in your line-of-sight, then giggle when you make eye contact.

He loves to shake his rattles. He hates it when he accidentially hits his head with it though. (He takes full swings.)

Singing helps to calm him down. He really likes Simple Gifts.

Alright, time for me to go to bed again. More updates later.

Nursing is for sleeping

Tonight Trent took a bottle but refused the last ounce. As he sat in my lap (with his back leaning up against my left arm), he suddenly turned to me, lifted his left hand, opened his mouth, and threw his face into my left boob. (It was really funny to see.)

"Would you like something sweetheart?" I asked sarcastically. He proceeded to suckle my shirt and drool.

I let him nurse and he was sound asleep in less than 10 minutes.

Last night he did the exact opposite. He cried and refused to nurse. He was hungry and wanted a bottle. Apparently, nursing is for sleeping.
