ER's 1st Flip and his ability to grab

He did a complete flip this afternoon right before nap time! I was busy with AN and he was impatiently fidgeting while waiting to be nursed to sleep. He was kicking hard and already lying on his side with one leg crossed over the other looking ready to flip, and he was largely inspired, by frustration because I wasn't responding to him. Haha!

AN and I waited for THE moment and it happened! The big sister went: "Yeah! Good job Ethan!" Like we told her when she flipped for the first time :)

The boy showed his newly acquired skill to Mr Liow while I was doing something else.

He's a stronger baby. It took AN a few times of flipping over with one hand stuck underneath her belly to learn to pull it out. I think she just wasn't as strong. This Ethan flipped over (with some efforts coz he's still a newbie aftall) and grudgingly pulled his hand out before grumbling further. Mr Liow said he was able to pull his hand out the second time too.

He's also better at grabbing things now. He stretches his hands out when we shake a rattle at him and he takes it. The rattle stays in his hands for about a min or two before he loses interest.

He attempts to put the rattle into his mouth and succeeds at his first attempt, because he has mastered stuffing his whole fist in, sometimes 4 fingers). It's not too different.

One step closer to civilisation. Next up, we'll probably be waiting for his 2 front to sprout! Hehe.
