Miles has been having some longer alert/happy periods lately. A couple mornings ago, we were able to put him in his bouncy seat without the pacifier or constant attention... all thanks to the kitchen light fixture. It's a hanging light, so we swing it and he watches it move back and forth. I'm not sure what's so exciting, but he's absolutely enamored with it! (I recommend clicking the "Full Screen" button in the bottom right corner of the video.)
As I mentioned in our last blog post, he's suddenly discovered his voice and how to use it. He was in a pretty good mood at lunch time, so we sat him in his Bumbo seat (and he didn't cry this time - already a success!) and he started cooing like crazy!!! We got a few good seconds of the happy, little guy showing off his new sitting and talking skills....
(According to the internet) since babies are now supposed to sleep on their backs, they don't start lifting their heads up as quickly as in the past. This makes tummy time extra important for developing those neck muscles. Here's Miles flexing.
All the excitement from light fixtures, Bumbo sitting, and tummy time can really wear a guy out. What better time to take a big 'ol nap than at Walmart? And after that nap, happy again.
And a few more shots in the bouncy seat staring at the light.
