3 Months And Still Cooing Strong

WEEK

13

Three months ago today, Scott was born. Has it only been three months? Wow. He certainly looks a lot older. And according to the BC Gurus, he's supposed to be gaining coordination this week. For example, he should be able to bat at a toy or reach for something you hold out. R put a toy key ring in front of him today and that's exactly what he did. Whew! My baby is keeping up with the Joneses.

His cooing is also improving, as he learns more and becomes more responsive. On Sunday, I was able to get some better footage of him "talking." I found in the past that he was distracted by the little beep as the camera started rolling. I was able to hide it from him a little this time, so he didn't stop and just stare.

I also included a shot of Scott demonstrating his #1 skill: holding his head up. We heard that you can pull a child from his back to a sitting position as an exercise to build neck strength, so the child will eventually be able to hold his head up. For some reason, Scott was able to do this pretty early on. Either he's dodged the genes from his father's side and ended up with a small head, or he's got pretty good neck muscles. Either way, it's pretty cute to watch him look around when he sits up.



NOTE: I just wanted to mention that my little trick to get free parking at the Ottawa Airport doesn't work at 4:00pm on a weekday. I went to pick up my younger brother (who will be visiting from NY through the weekend) and I found the security guy making the rounds both downstairs (arrivals) and upstairs (departures). I just had to circle a few times while he waited for his luggage, so it still wasn't that bad.
