17 weeks already?!?



Below is what babycenter.com says about how James is growing this week:

When placed on his stomach, your baby will probably lift his head and shoulders high, using his arms for support. This mini push-up helps strengthen her muscles and gives him a better view of what's going on. He may even amaze you (and himself!) by rolling from his back to his front, or vice versa.

You can encourage this rolling skill through play: Wiggle a toy next to the side he customarily rolls to in case he's interested enough to try again. Applaud his efforts and smile. He may need your reassurance, as this new skill can be a little frightening.


Again, babycenter.com is right on target as to what James is doing this week! He rolls over all the time and seems to like playing on the floor more now that he can change positions. I will post again later this week, James will be 4 months old on Friday!
