Moving around!

Motor control is definitely developing. It is so amazing to watch him physically grow stronger every day. Ian is now regularly rolling from back to tummy...and then back again! :) He can also hold his head up for longer and longer periods. I counted the longest as almost 20 seconds! Go Ian!

His vision and focus is also improving. Ian is tracking his hand to his mouth at times, which means he ends up cross-eyed. It's very entertaining to mommy and daddy! Yesterday was the first time he noticed (at least apparent that he had noticed) the mobile moving around above the swing. The ability is only there to follow it for a couple of inches, and then he starts looking off at other things!

He is definitely finding his voice...cooing, grunting, and making all sorts of cute (and funny!) little noises. Mommy is learning to tell the difference between commentary, angry, and hurt cries. Who would have guessed a cry is not just a cry!

Alert and awake time is increasing steadily...last night it was almost 3 hours! Blessedly, he is also gradually sleeping more of the night it seems. Five or six hour stretches are not uncommon. He's such a good baby!

Last order of business...Ian has officially outgrown the newborn size! He's not necessarily too chubby for them, rather too long. I'm going to weigh and measure him on Sunday...
