New tricks!

Weeks 10 and 11 were very eventful! Cole has started doing a lot more and interacting with toys. During the last two weeks:

1. Cole has been able to successfully get his fingers in his mouth on purpose. It was always by chance before and he was never able to keep them there for any length of time. Here is how he does it - he uses one hand to push the other hand closer so that he is able to get it into his mouth! And it is quickly becoming a favorite pasttime of his.


2. Cole has learned to hold on to things. (However, I think this photograph was possibly posed!)

3. Cole has started to play with the toys that hang above him! He coos and makes noises and loves to play with this thing. I think he is still amazed or maybe still wondering how Big Bird and Cookie Monster are moving! Could it really be ME moving them!?

4. Cole has started looking at his hand. Yes, that is correct. Hand. He only looks at his left hand for some reason, but he is mezmorized by it! Is that thing really mine? It seems to move when I move it!

5. And lastly, he has rolled over! The first time, I laid him down for some tummy time and went to grab something in the kitchen quick. When I came back a few seconds later he was on his back! I was so impressed!

Cole did it again this afternoon! I was sitting with him during tummy time and he lifted one arm and held it in the air and soon he rolled himself over!

As of today, he is now twelve weeks and we will see what he has in store for this week!
