If he's sleeping and we know it shout, "Hooray!" Hooray!... But please, not too loud. After all, mommy just got Elliot to sleep.
I can't believe my new grandson is almost three months old already! And when Elliot is in the "wide awake" position, this little honey coos, laughs, and tries his hardest to hold his head up, and turn onto his stomach!
"This is the stage that child psychiatrist Margaret Mahler referred to as “hatching,” when babies come out of their “shells” and begin to react and relate to the world around them."
What fun!
Bubbie and Elliot and Mommy, too!
Please share your grandchildren's milestones...at any
age!

The crib is now officially the gym! Jude has discovered a much better use for his mattress, other than sleeping or napping on it...he's talking, calisthenics. That's right! He can jump, swing, bend, twist and kick, all for the low price of zero dollars a month. Where can you get a cheaper workout than that? He'll even drop onto the mattress when tired for a bit of a cool down, with some stretching, and of course, lots of belly laughs. He's having such a blast, I'm tempted to try it on my own bed, but I think I'd need the bars to get as much lift as he does. Some kids just have all the fun!
Best,
Bubbie and Jude
P.S. How have your grandbabies taken to the crib?
