Ethan finally flipped!!!

without struggling that is. Ethan was able to flip by himself by 3 months but since he really hates to be on his belly, he hasn't had much practice. he really doesn't like to flip either. Ethan prefers to stand and at the tender age of 3.5 months, Ethan wanted to stand and be carried face front so that he can see stuff.

Yesterday Ethan actually flipped while playing, without encouragement and without stuggling. Then he moved forward a little so that he can cram my boob in his mouth, all on his belly. Like all first-time mums I was a little concerned about Ethan's not caring to flip or be on his belly. I compensated by trying to get him to sit. Am proud to say he's been sitting by himself since just before 5 months without support.

Ethan still much prefers to stand, or walk or jump and has been able to stand holding on to a stationary object from 4.5 months. Ethan can hold onto the edge of the sofa and maintain a standing position, until he decides to walk, and then he falls :-)

Am curious now to find out if he ever will crawl, guess we won't know til we get there.
