Subject: [blparent] Michael update


> Hi all.  I just wanted to give a quick update on Michael.  He's now 
> standing
> with support and he can stand when holding onto something.  He likes to
> babble a lot.  We're still working on him sitting without support but he's
> getting better.  Today was the first time I saw him sit by himself and 
> reach
> for a toy without toppling over.  I got this play yard for him, it's these
> gates that are put together in a circle so he has an area to play and roll
> around and I don't have to be behind him every second.  He also has a 
> little
> piano which he loves to play.  One concern I have is that Michael is at 
> that
> age where he's very wiggly when getting changed.  He also likes to roll 
> over
> on his tummy and I have to keep putting him back on his back.  If I hold 
> him
> in place, he starts to fuss or cry. Has anyone dealt with this issue 
> before?
> Any suggestions would be appreciated.  As for the feeding, it's going 
> great.
> Besides using an infant feeder, I finally figured out a way to feed 
> Michael
> with the spoon that works well for both of us.  The only tough part now is
> making a mess on his clothes.  I use bibs but it's still tough to keep the
> mess down sometimes.  Well, that's about it.  Take care.
