I'm not sure I've mentioned here on the blog before, but Felix has Torticollis. You can see it in almost every picture of him. He tilts his head to one side.
We started taking him to physical therapy a few weeks ago and he's doing so good! I love to go and watch him get stronger and stronger while he "plays" with the therapist. This week one of the things she tried to get him to do is holding up his upper body with his arms while on his stomach. He has a tough time doing this, so she did something a little easier and put him on his knees and rested his arms on a short bench with a toy on it! It's by far one of the cutest things to see him do. I recreated it at home using his trusty bouncy chair.
Felix is also rolling over a ton! Mostly from his back to tummy, but he doesn't like playing on his tummy very much. So we flip him onto his back again and then he flips back to his tummy. We're working on getting him to flip to his back on his own. But now that he can roll over he's started doing it when we lay him down to sleep. I snapped these pics today during a marathon nap...
Phil and I were so scared when he started doing this. I mean SIDS is one of our biggest fears. I know that once they are strong enough to roll over there's not too much you can do about it, but still...Anyway, he's fine and actually falls asleep on his tummy with every nap. I have been flipping him onto his back once he's asleep because he tends to sleep longer on his back...until today. He took a 2 hour+ nap this afternoon and he was on his tummy, so I don't think I'll touch him anymore!
Oh and here's a cute picture featuring Phil and Felix's fingers...
He's getting so much more interactive when he's eating. He tries to grab at his bottle. He's very strong and sometimes it results in a wrestling match...
Thanks for the pictures. He is seriously so long and getting so big. Take care.
