DS was born two months prematurely so while he is now 8 months old, developmentally he is closer to 6. He rolls well and has been sitting independently for two weeks. He "scooches" well in his crib and LOVES to stand, whether in my lap, the Supersaucer or the Jumperoo. He has just begun to mimic me while playing "pat-a-cake", too.
I am delighted with his progress and want to savor every stage without rushing his development. We're in no hurry! I realize, however, that it is my responsibility to foster his growth so I wonder if you might have some suggestions.
Are there certain toys that we should get for his first birthday? The grandparents are asking and we have no idea!
How can we encourage his crawling? He used to love tummy time but now that he rolls constantly, he spends so little time on his tummy!
TIA to all of you.
