I haven't written too much on Thom's development progressions, but so far, he's a touch "lazier" than Sam was. He's still not strongly and steadily sitting up on his own, though he's probably no more than a month off from accomplishing that. He still doesn't have any teeth (Sam had about 4 by now), but he's been chewing on his finger for the past 2 days as though he'd like to EAT it, so maybe that is right around the corner as well. He is not crawling or even scooching, but has mastered pushing up on his tummy, almost at a 90 degree angle! He rolls from tummy to back and manages to push himself around in a circle pretty good. Thomas walks pretty good while holding my hands! He actively laughs at funny things Mommy, Daddy and Sammy do to amuse him. He likes being tossed into the sky. He likes twirling around. He really enjoys his porch swing (Mommy maxes out the push, to much stomach-leaping from Nanny).
And just today, a long overdue milestone: I've swapped out Thom's carrying carseat (the kind that snaps in and out of the base for easy transport) for Sam's carseat, now turned backwards for Thom. Sam, as a result, has upgraded to a booster seat with removable back, which will eventually turn into just a butt booster when he hits the 40 lb. and 4 years mark (he's only 2 lbs. away).Many parents talk of feeling "sad" when their baby/child hits various milestones such as these. Maybe i'm missing that gene, but I've been nothing but excited for such changes. I have a feeling hitting larger turning points will be harder for me once the boys get older. Like Sam going to Kindergarten, or Jr. High. Or Thom doing those things. And more. Who knows... we'll see!
The pictures and story always nice. the kids will enjo y reading them when they are of age for that. I always enjoy. It gives me the feeling i know them better...they're closer. Gramma S
