Looking around

Here's Konrad during belly time. I feel badly that he doesn't get as much belly time as he should because I have to guard him from Natalie. I do put him in the playpen for belly time too, but he seems to like belly time better (none of my kids ever liked belly time) when he's out of the playpen.

I also put him on his belly on a blanket outside when Natalie is swinging and Lukas is playing with found objects, and Konrad's been slowly scooting from one end of the blanket to the other. He's still not grabbing for toys with purpose, but I think it's still early for that...I've forgotten all the "milestones" after having a special needs child, and I haven't pulled out my "What to Expect" book with this child. After working with a developmentally delayed child, I'm not interested in reading a book that closely about where a child "should" be.

Konrad excels at smiling (making him a natural Happy One) and growing (one of my to-dos this week is to change his clothes to the 12-month wardrobe).
