What's Jacob Doing?

Jacob is progressing right along and is now smiling on his own in addition to when he is stimulated. They are definitely precious and can be bigger than life. Mom thought she has caught Jacob with a couple of short giggles too. There are some definite changes happening again this week. He is definitely more alert and regularly turns his eyes and head to follow mom, dad or any other person that may be walking by and follows voices. Mom has also thought that Jacob may be finding his hands although she didn't think he realizes that they are attached to him. He is doing a great job holding his head up and we/I have been using a bumbo seat to help start building up his back muscles for sitting and continuing to work on his neck muscles as well. He doesn't stay in it long though.

Jacob is currently fighting to not get a cold. His eyes have been red and puffy a bit and definitely goopy! It may be a losing battle as it appears he may have already been bitten by the cold bug.

A couple of days ago, Jacob had his first boogie. Mom was proud as it was a good one...

Only other news is that mom is working with Jacob on the floor and working with him to push off of her so that he scoots along the floor on his back. It is the distance that you are thinking, but it does turn him on occasion. He has also turned a little in his crib as well.
