The last time I put Tynan into his tub he laughed for the first time. So tonight, I got all geared up and got the camera ready to capture another laugh but. . . no go. Why don't kids do exactly what we want them to? You'd think they had minds of their own or something! We still had a good time getting clean.
I didn't realize this video was so dark! But this is more of Tynan trying to turn onto his tummy but still getting hung up on his arm. (He moved his arm and finished the turn when I did not have the camera going, of course!) Today while he was napping he rolled onto his tummy in the bassinet. I can foresee troubles with this newfound mobility. . .
Not long after this video, I brought Tynan into the computer room and set him on his back on a blanket. Then I hooked up the camera to the computer. While I was copying pictures, Tynan rolled onto his side again. Then he moved his arm and turned all the way onto his tummy, and I couldn't tape it cause the camera was still hooked up to the computer!!! I was able to get an "after" picture at least:
I read somewhere that babies seem to do better with tummy time if they are naked. So before I put Ty in his jams, I put him on his tummy in his diaper (he doesn't really like tummy time - his doctor says reflux babies usually don't). He kicked so hard while he was on his tummy that he moved forward an inch or so! But then he got frustrated, so I turned him to his back for some quality video-taking time.
This smile is so sweet! Grandma Doreen is holding Tynan in this video. I had been having a hard time catching a smile on the video - he seems to have a knack for smiling only when the camera is not recording - so I was pretty happy to get it.

My mom told me that Tynan would do things that would amaze me. I put him down for some tummy time on the Boppy pillow and saw him going for his monkey rattle like nobody's business. After being overwhelmed with amazement and several other happy-type feelings, I grabbed the camera and managed to document it too! Soon after this video, Tynan fell asleep on the Boppy. He looked so cute that I reached for the camera again, but the sound it makes when it turns on made him open one eye for the picture. And that's the story behind the picture that is currently at the top of this blog :-)
