[blparent] Michael update

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I also really liked the disposable paper bibs for a while because I could 
roll the whole mess up and throw it away after the meal.

>> 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.
