Week 30

...and we're back! Our baby boy has had several milestones in the last few weeks. He now has two front, bottom teeth. He can sit up unassisted, although he can still fall to the side or back if someone is not there to help him when he leans too far in those directions. He can lift himself onto his hands and knees and can pull himself to standing for a few seconds when he can grip onto something. He can vocalize more sounds. He has learned what "up?" means and will lift his arms up to be picked up (if he wants to be picked up).

He still gets plenty of sleep...

Trying to get the camera

He's very camera aware. It's hard for us to get candid photos of him at his most vocal or his silliest, because he can hear and then see when we have the camera out. Not only can he hear the camera turn on, he recognizes the sound of doors opening and closing and will look to see who is leaving/entering the room. He also knows the sound of the kitchen faucet being turned on, because that means someone is likely running hot water to warm his bottle.



Adam loves to play with his toys. He especially likes the toys of which he can manipulate the sounds. He has a toy projector that plays music and water sounds. He plays with it by slapping at the buttons that change the songs and water sounds.

Toy Train

He also has a toy train that makes train sounds or plays a tune when the main wheels are turned. Adam doesn't waste any time with this toy. He flips it over and turns the main wheel to get it to play sounds.


Another recent development is his humming himself to sleep. Mommy and Daddy often sing to Adam at bedtime so it was natural for him to progress to making his own songs.

Overall, Adam is healthy, happy, silly, funny, fun, strong and always curious about the things around him.
