Day 27 27/7/2011 Playing with toy

Michael woke up today full of fun and went to play with his mum whilst dad had his lie in. He was in sucha good mood that we had an opportunity to try out different positions in his baby sling and event to try the big cloth wrap that we bought for him. The main problem with that one is that it takes a bit of practice to get it tied on properly and baby in securely and you just don't ever want to try that when he's upset. So it went really well, I watched YouTube videos of how to tie it in different ways and tried them out on Michael until he got fed up of the game. It really is a good thing, tied in well with the cloth wrap he feels to me even more secure than in the sling and he looks happy and comfortable and relaxed.
Here he is in his lovely bouncy chair.



In the afternoon Rocio and Michael spent a long time on the patio enjoying the summer. He does love to be out there as long as it's not windy. Then he had a long time awake and happy on his own in the cot. I'm told he played with his toy, this is vey exciting for me as it's the first time he has ever played with anything. He was using his hand to hold and investigate it. He does not often grip anything with his hands. He seems unusual in this, he doesn't hold your finger if you put it into his hand. He's got nothing wrong with his grip, he can hold tightly if he wants, he just often doen't bother.
