Getting there


Jack's still not crawling yet, but the progress he's made this past week makes us think he could be getting close. Now he's strong enough to keep his belly off the ground when we put him on his hands and knees. Before, he would just flop down on the ground when we tried to put him in that position. When I took these pictures, he was able to stay up for about 20 seconds.



He's also enjoying tummy time a lot more. He's been able to roll from his back to his stomach for several months, but he rarely did it since he didn't like ending up in that position. He surprised me within the past couple days by rolling over often and then staying on his belly for a while and playing. I love to watch him do it, though unfortunately his favorite time to roll is when I'm trying to change his diaper!

This video is from yesterday when we were playing. He discovered that he can throw his little football when he's on his belly. I wish I had started filming earlier during playtime; by the time I filmed him, he only had enough energy left for one good throw, and then he was just too tired and had to lay his head down. Prior to that, he was throwing the ball really well and would laugh when he watched it roll across the floor. We'll have to try getting it on camera again sometime.

Yes, we are starting to think now he may be a leftie!
