16 Weeks

Joel is 16 weeks old today!  And as cute as a button in his little white cardigan with a hood!


The Babycentre website says this for 16 week old babies:

When you place her on her stomach, your baby will lift her head and shoulders high, using her arms for support. This mini push-up helps strengthen her muscles and gives her a better view of what's going on. She may even amaze you (and herself!) by rolling from her back to her front, or vice versa. You can encourage this skill through play. Wiggle a toy next to the side she customarily rolls to in case she's interested enough to try again. Applaud her efforts and smile. She may need your reassurance since her new skill can be frightening. 



He has been doing more tummy time and pushing right up on his arms!  And not crying!  I guess that's progress.  We have his 16 week jabs next week on Tuesday so am not looking forward to those but he's not been too bad with the others and after those are done we can think about going swimming sometime!  We can't wait to teach him to be a water baby!!
