Well... hi! After a long silence, I have returned to my blog to update you on ... well ... everything!
Eli still isn't rolling over, but he's a heck of a lot closer than he was before!! His strength is building nicely, he's just got to get that last little bit of technique downpat! Funnily enough, I went with my mum to a natural therapist, who deals with massage and muscle manipulation, and she noticed his chest was sunken. I knew this, but figured it was just how he looked! I was wrong -- his ribs were out of alignment!! I was dumbfounded. Made me think "How is anyone supposed to know this?". No one tells you these things - of course!
Anyway, 10 minutes later, he was readjusted and happy. Turns out this one little thing was having an effect on his breathing, could have disrupted his digestion and was painful for him when using his upper body for rolling over!! (In case you were wondering, this was the point of the story - remember, we started out talking about rolling over.......)
In other news.....
Eli has sprouted his first TWO bottom teeth! That was rough going for a little while... They arrived on the 18th of August, just 1 day before he turned an official 4 months old. Yes, that is early for teeth, and no, he's not bitten me - yet....
Other than these (major) developments, he's been just fantastic. He's loving exploring his legs and feet - especially jumping in his "Jolly Jumper"..... which I have to say, I wasn't sure if he'd like it - but he does.... in fact it could really save my sanity! The thing I think I'm most surprised about is that you can quite literally buy 10 different things that have similar functions, and you will more than likely use all of them! I didn't think I'd buy any of them... but I'm glad I did....
So - off I go, leaving you with a suggestion that possibly defies logic, and all the other advice you've probably ever heard - IF YOU WANT IT, BUY IT, YOU'LL USE IT!!! hahhahahahahahaaa
I should get some sort of commission for comments like that....
Ciao for now....
