Tragic news today. K3's love affair with his carseat is officially over. Once beloved by both him and us - slept in, played in, sat in - now despised. How could this be? They had such good times in the past -- just look!:
















































Could there be a happier baby? But those good times are over for good. See for yourself:

In other good news--oh wait, I mean more terrible news-- K3 has a condition called tortocollis. The doctor confirmed it yesterday. It's when one side of the baby's neck is weaker than the other, usually due to a difficult delivery (it may have been the extreme pushing, cramped birth canal, and forceps, I don't know). This means he has a hard time moving his neck to one side. I think this picture clearly illustrates the problem:
















That's not the right angle for a baby's neck to be. To fix it we have to do neck-stretching physical therapy, which, you guessed it, K3 hates. No, I don't have video. Just watch the carseat video again and instead of a carseat imagine my hands trying to twist his neck a way he doesn't like. You'll get the picture.

Onto good news (you thought we'd never get there)! K3 is making a lot of progress. He can grab toys and shake them:















And he can push himself up and look around (on his good side only, though. . .):














And he likes to hang out on the couch and watch TV:















Also, he can kind of stand up a little and he can kind of sit up by himself. He usually just rolls onto his stomach, though.

And now, the K3 video. He's been making a lot of funny sounds, so I put some clips together. As a warning, nifty transitions and Jack Johnson do not appear in this video.
