Now that he's hit the 2-month mark, Mendele is becoming an increasingly agreeable companion when he's happy. He looks around the room for interesting things to see.
He focuses intently — though briefly — on whatever grabs his attention. Most of all, he really enjoys looking at his hands and stuffing them in his mouth.
You can carry on a "conversation" with Mendele now. When Mendele gurgles or coos, his mommy will say something back to him. Then wait for him to "say" something back to you. This kind of conversational turn-taking may not sound like much to you now, but it's actually the beginning of learning how to talk!
Today we met with the physical therapist who was very impressed with Mendele's ability to hold up his head while lying on his stomach. This ability comes from days of lying on his stomach!
Mendele's head is still wobbly so we're going to get a therapist who's going to help him strengthen his back, neck and chest muscles so he should be able to hold up his own head!

shmuli and rivky, everything sounds great BH. I was trying to coo to my baby today and I wasn't getting the same response as you get from mendele. Kol hakovod for the time and effort you are investing. May your reward match your efforts.
2 months - B"H we miss Mendel already. We hear he hasn't been in his own home for a Shabbos yet and there aren't plans in the near future to change that. So how about our place the next Shabbos stop?
Looking forward to seeing some new pictures!
What's 'copied without permission' got to do with anything?
