My baby isn't social with anyone but DH and I. Literally stone faced and disinterested. Being around other babies (some almost a month younger) made me wonder why her social skills are off.
TTC: 1/2014

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
@henrytviii THANK YOU! Can you tell me more about yoga/massage? I think we have a stiff neck here too! I'll def speak to pedi about everything ))
Love the smiles. And my LO smiles for everyone which was making me worried he didn't have a clue who his parents are! Whatever the do we find a way to worry about it.
I really don't know much about yoga and massage for babies. I have the itsy bitsy yoga book for babies (oddly I started with the toddler on but could get my big boy to focus long enough to show him a pose). I got started with the book and the just made it up. Gently massaging his neck/shoulders and turning it. Sounds reckless to write that but it seemed natural at the time. He seems to enjoy it and I felt like it helped. His mobility got better right as I was going to call about seeing a PT. He was stuck in the birth canal with his head at the wrong angle and looked like he had a kink in his neck for weeks . . . In addition to a cervix sized welt on his head! Honestly right now I think he's too fat to meet some milestone's. 19.6 lbs Monday, and tall.
My baby doesn't seem to grow toenails. Fingernails have to be trimmed constantly, so I'm not complaining, but he's just now starting to get a little bit of a length on his big toe.

He settles her in her home as a happy mother of children, praise the Lord! (Psalms 113:9)
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understand, will guard your heart and mind in Jesus Christ (Philippians 4:7)
@henrytviii mine was all jammed up in the canal too and then came abruptly so even the LC said his neck looked stiff. I've been trying to massage his neck and be hates it. Makes sense. I'll keep gently trying ) thanks!!!
My LO doesn't roll belly to back. He only rolls back to belly, and only to the right. My LO doesn't have much hair, except an old man strip around the bottom back of his head - just like my grandpa who he was named after, lol
Preach! My baby is 3 months and 3 days old. She's still swaddled, still in the rock n play, not even close to rolling, barely laughing or grabbing toys. I declared myself still on Team Tiny Baby today. Still hanging out in that 4th trimester here.
^^Still swaddled. Rub it in. My flopper doesn't get swaddled any more. Read: mama doesn't get more than 3 hour stretches of sleep any more. So don't be WHATEVS'ing me, @dancegurl1118, @mellymar@ChardeeMacDennis ;-)
@virginiaunicorn11 I just posted about this on nighttime sucks, but my LO fell asleep on the couch earlier this evening, and since I don't swaddle for naps, he's got his arms out. He didn't wake up again to eat so I finally carried him up to bed and put him in his pnp. I wasn't going to try to swaddle him already asleep, so I guess tonight is unswaddle experiment night. Meaning - I will probably be woken up here shortly. So I'll be up with you overnight at some point
My LO doesn't roll over either. She's 13 weeks. She will go from back to side and from tummy to back if she's laying her head on her arm. She also hasn't giggled for me yet. DH got a couple out of her last night. I'm bound and determined to get her to say momma first because she also gave someone else her first smile. What gives girl?! :-??

And my LO loathes tummy time on the floor. He can only handle it propped up on his boppy.
