pat-february visit

Thursday, February 24

Last Thursday, Caralee came over for our monthly PAT visit. Miller was in a great mood and was smiling and squealing the entire time.

We talked about the importance of playing social baby games like peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake. Miller is a huge fan of peek-a-boo. In fact, it was the best way to get him to smile for his 6-month pictures with Brenda. (more about that in another post)

Caralee also wanted to see me interacting with Miller, so she gave me a lift-the-flap book to read to him. Miller loves to read books and especially enjoys feeling all the pages, turning the pages, and chewing on the corners of the book. Caralee said that she could tell that we read to Miller on a regular basis.

Miller showed Caralee how he can sit up without any support. He is also really starting to notice strangers. Caralee commented on how Miller really studied her and was very curious when she showed up at our house.

Our biggest goal is getting Miller to sleep through the night and, in turn, creating a more consistent eating and napping schedule during the day.

Caralee was very impressed with Miller and said that he is right on track developmentally and that he is lucky to have us for parents. She is so kind!
