I was recently visiting a friend's blog and was checking out some of her blog links to friends who have babies around Nick's age. And now I feel depressed/anxious about what Nick can't do. These other babies that will stand when they're pulled into the position, or hold their head up for tummy time, or grab objects - my kid doesn't do any of these things. I thought I was doing a good job of interacting with him and playing with him...but maybe I was doing all the wrong things. Plus tummy time is a joke and he's hardly napping at all.
Sorry I sound so blah...I'm just contending with a cranky baby who napped a grand total of 30 minutes today (5 minutes this morning & 25 minutes this afternoon) and feeling like a bad mom.
Yes!!! I am still here! But moving to a new spot...

Aw, Marianne... don't worry about other kids! Those parents are probably just exaggerating!! I'm sure Nick is perfectly NORMAL! Hang in there!

Mur, each baby is different & you can't compare. He's not even 3 months yet. Remember, Ashley didn't walk until she was 15 months! He could be just observing then watch out when he jets ahead of everyone else. Enjoy the time with him now & don't worry about what he can/can't do. Love you.
Thanks guys. I think I was already feeling bad since it was my first day back to work and he had a horrible day at daycare. I'm trying to relax more and now he's not screaming bloody murder when he's on his tummy, so I feel like I'm doing everything I can to help him along.
Hmm...at the end of the day, it seems like this is more about my guilt than his capabilities. I need to let this one go!
