Blog Entry 59 of 91 The Happening

Steve Shultz here. I am a YourHub.com staff journalist based in Douglas County. I used to write a lot of news stories for the weekly print editions for Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock and Parker, but now I'm mainly focused on the layout and design of said newspapers. In between putting your great stories, blogs, photos and events into the print editions, I will blog about some of the stand-out submissions I see on the Douglas County Web sites –- Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Parker, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Roxborough and Franktown –- and any other topic that piques my interest. If you’re new to YourHub.com, I encourage you to sign up and start your own blog. If you have any story ideas in your community you’d like to share, send me an e-mail. And drop me a comment in the comment box –- bloggers feed off feedback.

We took Prahlad to his 2-month checkup May 16. He now weighs 12 pounds 6 ounces and is 23 ½ inches long. His head measures 15 ½ inches. No additional medical news to report now, other than he is doing just great.

Newest milestone: Prahlad rolled over for the first time May 8! That's pretty amazing, considering I've read that most babies generally don't roll over until their forth month, on average. We had him doing some "tummy time" on a quilt on the floor. I looked over at him and he was sort of resting on his arm. I look away for a second, and, when I looked back, he was completely on his back! He hasn't done it since, though.

He held his first toy, a wooden rattle, on his own May 14, his 2-month-old birthday.

And he has a new hobby: thumb sucking. He's been sucking his thumb for a couple weeks now, and sucks himself to sleep. It's so cute!

He is still smiling like crazy. Every morning, I try to get at least one smile out of him before I have to leave for the day. Every once in a while we'll get a tiny laugh out of him. He is becoming more and more vocal every day.

I'll keep you all posted when anything "big" happens.

Prahlad and Brendan must know something I don't. I'm 300 months old, and not once have I rolled over correctly. Steve, your son's looking healthy and gorgeous. Congrats once again.

So cute!

I love photos No. 5 and 10. No. 5 because he looks like a little boxer and No. 10 because his eyes look all crazy. He's cute. Too cute.

I love the 3rd pic. congrats on the one time roll over.

Karin, I totally agree. I'd rather have him suck his thumb than on a pacifier. Besides, he has a hard time keeping one in his mouth.

One of mine rolled over within 24 hours of birth. Another was almost seven months. I guess that makes four months our household average. Also, I think the thumb is preferable to the pacifier. Self-comforting behavior is a gift to parents.

Further proof that you are a genius.

I'm pretty sure I rolled over way before my fourth month, too.
