Play Time


Brooks doesn't have a real good play mat that he can lay on where everything hangs down in his face. So instead we just lay him on his back on a blanket. Since he was totally tiny I've been introducing him to toys and books. I'll lay some down next to him on his blanket or dangle them in his face. Just a week or two ago he became interested in the toys. He'll now grab at them and put them in his mouth. His "favorite toys" are just those rings that hook together. They are real easy for him to grab and play with. Last week I introduced him to this bug/butterfly thing that lights up and plays music. The wings on the bug have that crinkle material, and he seemed to like that. He grabbed the bug and played with the wings and put it in his mouth. I know it seems dumb, but every small milestone is big to me. Brooks seems to be about a month behind in development and growth, so I love to see him learning new things. He can also hold his head up real well while on his tummy, and he can roll from his tummy to his back. He smiles and laughs (I'm still working on a video of him laughing), and he really seems to enjoy interacting with people. I'm looking forward to our 4 month doctors visit tomorrow to see what she thinks about his growth...I'm not looking forward to his shots though.

too cute! He is doing great! Mollie started rolling onto her side but hasn't done anything else. She doesn't care for being on her stomach so our tummy time is limited. I can't wait to hear about how big Brooks has grown. Good luck with the dr. visit and shots!
