Left Side, Strong Side!

I took Hunter for his one month check up last Wednesday. We found out that he is now 10lbs 2oz and 22 1/2 inches long! What a growin' boy! We also found out that our little man favors his right side, so his little head had some flattness. The doctor said that right now it's normal and as long as we start working with him to like his left side too then his head should go right back to normal. We've been doing our best to promote the left side. At tummy time, play time and even while in his swing or carrier. Hunter still likes the right side best and I can't seem to get him to sleep on the other side. We will continue to work on getting his muscles used to the other side too and hopefully the next time we're at the doctor's office we will be told his head is fine.

Our little baby boy has also discovered some fun and fascinating things he can now do. Such as screaming, yes Hunter has found out that he is capable of one single, very high pitched scream when something is not going his way. It's pretty funny because it really is only one scream and then he feels much better about things. It's like he knows that he told us exactly what he needed to. :) Hunter has also discovered his voice, using it a lot more to ooo and ahhh at mommy while we play on his mat. And the best thing that he started doing was smiling and laughing out loud. The other day I was holding him, trying to get him to sleep and I looked down at him, his eyes were shut and he let out the biggest giggle ever, followed by the sweetest smile. I wonder what he was dreaming about.
