Well, just in the last few days I've notice something that I thought was pretty amazing. Now, DJ had been able to put his hands in his mouth pretty well when swaddled, but that's like putting your hands in your mouth in the womb - it's easy when you're movements are restricted. His arms weren't escaping the swaddle sack so they were confined to an area right around his face. I think this may have given him incentive enough to try to do it on his own though. One day on the changing table B asked DJ if his hands tasted good. Low and behold, the baby was munching on his fists. I didn't think much of it at the time because it was a middle of the night changing, and I am pretty sure I was half asleep at the time (I still dose off during middle of the night feedings sometimes).
Now I've noticed he's pretty good at it, particularly during diaper changes. He seems to either bring both hands up simultaneously or uses one hand (the right) to move the other up there, because one is usually on the bottom. I'll have to make a better note of that to really be sure.
He is also able to follow me around the room now. His eyes and head will watch me where ever I go. If we are on our morning walk, I'll move to walk next to the stroller and he will keep staring at me. I tried to move so he could see the scenery but apparently he wasn't interested. He is also following the movement of the mobile hanging on his crib. I haven't watched to see if he's following a particular animal. I'll have to watch for that too.
