Baby Bobby has discovered the Top Of His Lungs!
Friends who have a slightly older baby have dubbed this the Pterodactyl range. He's taken to shrieking and yelling just to see what kind of noises he can make. It's pretty entertaining since he's obviously enjoying himself.
Rolling over, alas, remains elusive. Instead, he pivots. If we put him down on his belly facing north, within a few minutes he'll be facing south. He's also been getting better at sitting up -- he can definitely remain upright when he's propped up in the corner of the couch, and Jude reports that he sat up yesterday assisted only by his Boppy.
An even more noteworthy milestone, for me, anyway, is that we took him to a restaurant on Sunday to celebrate Uncle Peter's birthday, and he fell asleep on Peter's lap. Just conked right out. I think that's a first -- usually it takes a lot more work on our part. In fact, we're thinking of just asking Peter to take him to a crowded bar every night at bedtime. Bobby's bedtime, not Peter's.

In the category of preview, he's getting some of the motions right to crawl - wiggling his hips and pushing his legs. It's totally cheating, but yesterday I put a toy just out of reach and then braced his feet against my thigh and he wiggled and pulled himself forward to where he could get to the toy. Again, it's cheating, and who knows if he even understood what was happening, but it was fun to see.
