Getting Strong

Dude is starting to be able to hold himself up much better. When he is in his car seat, he will lift his head up so that it is not resting on the back of the seat. Then he just holds it there. he can sit up by himself for a few seconds without being held, and he is really good about supporting himself for a long time with a little hand support here and there. He is grabbing at everything these days... and of course putting it straight into his mouth. We have one toy that he especially likes (it is a curly cloth toy that can stretch out and has little characters hanging from it). We can attach it to either side of his car seat so that it stretches out right in front of him, and he will just grab and play with that thing for so long. It's fun to watch him notice all of the things around him. We have moved Dude into the full size crib. He was just getting too big for the pack n' play. He has done fine with the transition. Sometimes he gets moving around a lot and gets his hand and feet out of the bars (I need to get a new bumper pad to put around it), but for the most part the space is goof for him.
