Felix

The baby sits longer without support but is not yet fully independent. He has learnt to crawl when placed on a soft surface, he successfully crawls around the room, reaching toys or objects that interest him. He holds toys firmly in his hands, passes them from one hand to the other, explores them curiously, and tries to grasp them with two fingers: thumb and forefinger. Examines toys closely, touches them for a long time and explores them. When he sees a toy with his eyes, he reaches for it with his hands. He has become interested in mirrors: he picks them up, examines them and makes different sounds as if he were talking. Recognizes the caregiver: if picked up by another person, the baby looks for the caregiver with its eyes. Reacts to people close to him/her, smiles at them, expresses emotions: if he/she does not like someone, he/she shows dissatisfaction or gets angry. Recently, he has started to make more sounds, clearly repeating the syllables “ba ba ba”, “ma ma ma”, “da da da”. The child’s sleep is restful, with no exceptional awakenings. During the day, he smiles a lot, starts to ‘gurgle’ when spoken to, loves to play and watch the toys on the play mat. He spends some time in the swing (bouncer), but this is not his favorite place. He rolls over on his tummy and has a little more difficulty holding his head up, but according to the doctors, he is doing well.

Every morning, he does exercises, which has become a daily ritual that he likes very much. He spends a lot of time outside. The doctor visits him every month and says that he is gaining weight well, he has no developmental delays yet, and he just needs to strengthen his neck muscles to hold his head more strongly. The boy is active, curious, emotional and very social, happy to socialize, explore his surroundings and enjoy his daily discoveries. The diet is becoming more varied every month.
