Kindermusik
Colin started a class called Kindermusik at the beginning of this month. We go to a class in Davidson every monday for about 45 minutes. It's a music class thats got kids from newborn age to 18 months. He always seems to enjoy being around all the other kids his age. This was the only way for us to get him around other kids his age. We sing to them and dance with them, and give them baby massages and help them stretch, and they have age appropriate instruments for them to play with. I think playing with some of the bells is what has helped him have better control with holding heavier things. We also think it is whay he has gotten so good at laying on his stomach without getting too fussy and has helped him roll over. He loves laying on his stomach and watching all the other kids, he keeps kicking trying to crawl with the older kids. It may seem a little crazy to have children that young in a music class but tehy all seem to really enjoy it and it introduces them to being around other children their age if they normally aren't.
The last month
In the last month Colin has gotten excellent head control. He loves sitting up and laying on his stomach for short periods of time. He has learned to roll from his back to his stomach and now does it every chance he gets when you lay him on his back some where that he has room to move. We went to the family reunion in Pennsylvania over labor day weekend and stayed at the family's campground. He always loves being around alot of people and outside so he did really great on the trip. He also got on his first swing while we were there and he seemed to like it. On the way back we got to stop and see my grandma Barb, his GG. He has gotten better control of his hands to where he can pick some heavier things up like his rattle. He laughs alot more now. And has figured out ways he can get our attention and make us laugh. He is doing really well.
