20 weeks
Our little punkin is 20 weeks. For the most part he is putting himself to sleep on his own now. Thankfully we didn't have to go through the 'cry it out' routine. We thought we'd have to do that, which seems so rough on the little baby. We read some stuff on the matter and thought we'd wean the rocking time and that has worked like a charm.
He has learned the word 'up'! We have always said 'up' every time we pick him up and now he anticipates it by either lifting his arms or arching his back to sit up. He also knows the word Whiskey, as everytime Whiskey comes around I say his name and Soren looks for him and smiles!
He hasn't voacalized any words yet, not even a simple da-da or ga-goo or anything. He still just blows bubbles, razzes, and loves to scream to test his voice. He can stand with assistance and sit for a short while without assistance which he prefers rather than his stomach. I make him play as long as possible on his stomach, but he really doesn't like it still....he cries after a few minutes and rolls over....but we are making progress slowly.
