He turns...

Julius started moving around around two weeks. I tried to place him on his bed on his side (that's what is the recommended position) but he disagreed and always managed to turn to his back as well as back to his side. When he was less than a month he somehow managed to turn fully around. I was shocked and I knew it was a pure mistake but anyhow he did it, and of course since then the only place I can leave him alone (so I can use the bathroom) is on the floor.

In the last two weeks lying on his back and kicking toys on his play mat became more fascinating, so he hasn't been practicing too much. Today I realized that he hasn't been lying on his stomach unless its on top of me or Tonny much, so when he woke up from his nap I decided it's a good opportunity to do some head holding exercise. Julius disagreed and decided to do some turning exercise instead!!! He repeated it so many times that I was able to grab this (i know bad quality) small video with my cell. I'm so proud!!!

6 weeks already

Oh how lazy have I been... Before our beautiful baby was born I was determined to write the blog very often, just to keep track on things, but I guess life has gotten into the way. At some point I just decided to focus on enjoying him rather than recording everything that has happened.. (I'm sure being tired had a lot to do with this also :D) but now it seems crazy that it has already been six weeks!!

Everything is going nicely. Julius had his doctor's appointment today and his growing fast (actually faster than average, especially his height) and looks around at everything and everyone. He also started to turn very early, so while all this progress makes me feel like a very proud mom it seems that he is growing way too fast. We even have some clothes already that have become too small for him.. When did this happen???

Life is nice and I'm enjoying every day with him, as well as being thankful of nice Finnish government that makes it possible for me to stay home with him without needing to worry about my work.
