New Milestones 20-21 Weeks
Week 21 I have had the privilege to be at home with my little man due to snow days. I have learned so much from being home with him for just this one week. He has been moving around in his walker, he likes moving backward, forward, and sideways. He makes mm-mm sounds when he's hungry. He is so much more alert and interactive with adults and our animals. He enjoys petting Bella, we still have to work on grabbing her hair, but she is so gentle with him. He laughs at the dogs growling and playing. Still loves bath time, loves splashing and has learned to push up and down. We have been playing with a few toys in the bathtub. He has been rolling over to belly a lot recently and stays there and plays if he can reach toys or looks around. He has been rolling to the right, which initially when he rolled over it was to the left. We are still effectively breastfeeding and it has helped to have been home this past week. He does so much better when I am able to be with him. He has been vocalizing a lot more, talking or babbling. He recognizes all familiar faces. Loves to be sitting up, I can't wait for him to sit up on his own so he can do it whenever he wants, not when mommy or daddy are around to help. He has been in his walker, vibrating seat, and bumbo seat sitting up multiple times daily. He has learned to squeal the past couple of days.

Sleep
Ok mamas. I need some advice. My lo will roll over to his belly when in the pack and play and I try to roll him over. If he is completely on his back, he screams. Is it ok to let him sleep that way or do I need to try and keep him on his back? He will be 5 months the 25th. Help...I don't want to not get any rest with being worried about him.
