Sitting Up and Head Control

Posted by: Lynda In: 03 Months| Milestones| Photos

Sitting Up 2In the last two weeks, Elias has really toned his head control and sits upright with only a tiny bit of assistance on your lap. We’ve heard a couple consonants - “m”, “g” and “b”, though they’re not reliably repeated. His vision has improved as he’s able to recognize us from at least 2-3 feet away. He studies his surroundings and you can tell he wants to reach out for things, but he just doesn’t have the right coordination to do it. Sometimes he hurls his arm in the general direction of one of his toys.

Look at those chubby cheeks!!!! Taylor suddenly realized that there’s a TV (50 inches so it’s hard to miss) and she’s enthralled by it. I’ve moved things around so she can’t see it and doesn’t get to watch it as much as we do.

I broke out the exersaucer today, although she doens’t quite have the head control she needs yet. She managed impressively well and touched everything within reach but I didn’t get more than inches away because I was worried she’d suddenly face plant on something.

Taylor is showing a definite preference for her right hand already.

Elias loves the TV. We let him watch it as long as the content is appropriate. We’re usually watching Food Network or the Discovery Channel anyway. At this point, I don’t really see the TV any differently than a big fancy electronic mobile.
