He has also been getting so much stronger. He holds his head up all the time now and can sit very well on our laps facing any direction. His vision has been getting better, too. He has started noticing the cat, who was just a big, blackish blur up until now. Check out Tiger stalking him.
He follows us with his eyes, then his head, then his entire body as we walk around the room. Also for some reason, he is fascinated with something in the kitchen. Below is a picture of what he sees as he cranes his neck over my shoulder for a better look. From the angle I am guessing he either wants to be a florist (flowers on cabinets) or a chef (the refrigerator). Personally, I am hoping it is a chef so he can cook for us since neither Chris or I love cooking! As a side note, we keep asking "What are you looking at?" and his response is "At!" which we are taking to mean "That! Duh, Mom!" so he really isn't any help at all!
He has been enjoying his tummy time more, as some of you may have noticed in the pictures on schaefers0630.shutterfly.com. Thank you for all of your suggestions! We will have some professional pictures taken next weekend so check back then to see the whole family!
We started putting him on his side to sleep in a sleep positioner because we noticed that his preference for turning his head to the right was making his head lopsided. Now, even without the positioner, he wiggles and kicks until he gets on his side, then falls peacefully asleep!
These are just pictures of how cute he is!
On November 4th, we are participating in Arizona's JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes. A friend of ours has a 14 month-old daughter who was diagnosed 6 months ago with Juvenile or Type 1 diabetes. This is the second time this devastating disease has struck someone close to us. My cousin's daughter was also diagnosed about a year ago. Chris and I are walking as members of "Grace's Gang" and would love to have your financial support! Please visit http://walk.jdrf.org/ to find out more on how you can help!
