Blake has started to enjoy toys now. He wasn't real interested before, but now he loves to attack them with his mouth. Not all toys, he definitely has his favorites. He also loves to play with toys that light up and sing/make music. Here's a little clip of him with his new found love for a taggie football :)
Blake & Taggie Football
Blake is 3 1/2 months old and still has not yet rolled over. I believe he is just now getting to the point where it looks like he could roll over soon. He is pushing more with his arms while on his tummy. He used to just lay there with his head on the blanket, but is now a little more active while on tummy time. He's definitely gone through a growth spurt, but I'm thinking he is still a little small for his age. He was in the 25th percentile for height and weight at his 2 month appointment, so we'll see next time we go in.
The newest development for him is that he's found his thumb. We avoided giving him a pacifier and he didn't even always want one when we did give it to him and it was in the back of my mind that he might opt for his thumb without a pacifier. I didn't want to by held captive by the pacificer and always trying to keep it in his mouth when he's pop it out and then get mad. On the other hand, I'm not thrilled about the thumb sucking either, except for the fact that it is incredibly cute.
I just don't want him to be sucking his thumb as he gets older and thus creating orthodontic issues (and selfishly, I don't want the work of trying to make him stop). We'll see how it goes...either way, we'll love him :)
