We have really been pushing tummy time lately because he has to get stronger (and happier) if he is to ever start crawling. If we hold him and you didn’t know differently you would think that he could crawl if not walk by the way he wiggles to get down. He has the mentality to want to move and really thinks he can, he is just too weak.
His new trick lately is to roll over on his tummy and stay there for a little bit when he is supposed to be napping! It’s is hilarious to watch on the monitor because you would think that WE were making him to that. He gets so whiney! Gotta love the video monitors!
Then the other day, Caleb and Mommy were just hanging out in the shade under a tree and he rolled himself on to his tummy. He was probably there for about 20 minutes(usually its about 2.5sec). He was so miserable, whiny and frustrated. But again, he put himself there and he knows how to roll out of it, so I left him there as long as he would stay. He makes me laugh, it’s like he knows he has to put in some hard work! By the end(notice the 2nd picture, top row) he was a teary, snotty mess so I picked him up and gave him some hugs and praise for all his hard work!
Another version of mandatory tummy time-between pillows. I tried to block him with the pillows so he could not roll over. Not interested. Not happy. I thought he might be tolerant for a little while but no such luck.
And he thought PT was just Tuesday mornings at 8:15…
ha.
