This month was certainly a good one in my development. I now reach for and hold things with accuracy and move the thing directly into my mouth. I grasp and shake things that rattle too. My favorite toy is an orange (I have a blue one too) pig rattle.
I roll over in both directions, not often, but can do it and raise my chest high when lying on my tummy. I continue to sleep on my side. I am noisier and noisier each day, squealing when I am really happy (which is most of the time). I now have a variety of sounds and use them to get attention.
I've taken to the spoon very well, and like all of the first food fruits, as well as oatmeal, sweet potatoes and squash. I have also tried peas--thinking they must be an acquired taste. I eat twice a day with the spoon and also take three formula bottles a day. I continue to be excited when I see my bottle. I especially love it when my afternoon juice bottle shows up; I've tried pear, prune and apple juice. I think my favorite is pear juice.
