About a month ago Isaac began leaning forward when in a reclined position in his car seat or bouncer. He wasn’t reaching for anything per se but was simply trying to sit up. Propping pillows behind him for support, he eventually ends up slumped to one side or sliding all the way down until he is supine. Now when he sits supported in the Boppy or in my lap, he reaches out for objects of interest but hasn’t figured out that the effect of reaching too far means that his body gets stuck between his legs as he can’t easily do the reverse. Recently Isaac has been sitting unassisted (with Mama, Daddy, or pillows close by) for short periods of time.
Around the same time Isaac was exploring how to make his spine work, he was also discovering his tongue. Occasionally he likes to take his tongue on a spin outside his own mouth. In the pictures below I’m not sure if he’s discovered his lips or if he’s airing out his tongue:
