Week 13 Developments

Developments at 13 weeks. Can a 3 month old actually laugh? Apparently this one can. Could be my funny looks, but I actually got him to laugh the other day. The mouth was open with the biggest smile ever. I should have got that one on camera, but it wasn't in the vicinity. I'll have to try and get one and post it up for all to see.

It's just amazing watching the stages a baby goes through. Everyday it seems like something new. We are at the point when we can actually carry him around for 10-15 minutes without him fussing about it. We'll go for little tours around the house and look at pictures, mirrors, plants, out the window, etc. We try and point to things, but he hasn't grasped the finger pointing thing yet. When we take him outside, we'll look at colorful flowers, trees, a fence, etc. Anything to visually stimulate his brain. He loves the outdoors.

The long weekend in August we are taking Brenden camping for his first time near Sandbanks (on Lake Ontario, near Picton). This will actually be quite the experience for all of us. Totally different, since we won't have the luxuries of home while were away.

This weekend Michelle and I are in a ball tournament, so Grandma Schaefer will be taking care of him on Saturday for us.
