Thank you Willa. I probably need to learn to let him go to other people more often - for my own sanity, but also for him.

Yes, he seems frustrated when he can't do things. He tries for days when he can't say a particular sound and will be awake in the middle of the night trying to say it!

The advice about tummy time is great - yes, he hates it and his arms are so skinny compared to the rest of him! Any ideas for making tummy time more enjoyable? I find it really hard to leave him there while he is crying.

There is one classical CD I play to him but maybe I should try some others too.

Thanks again...
