Belly Time

Gavin has had a breakthrough. He went from hating belly time to suddenly enjoying it... at least for a while anyways.

I had started making belly time more of a game for him that I like to call Rolly Polly Baby. I even sing a little song while we play. I would roll him onto his belly just for a minute then roll him again onto his back. It seemed to help because he wasn't crying or getting mad. Then all of the sudden he starting lifting his head up like he had been doing it all along, like it was easy as could be.

I don't know what changed but we're relieved. We worried about being scolded by the doctor at his four month check up. Now it looks as though there is hope his head will take a shape other than being flat.

This month is definitely full of changes. He is growing like a weed, is able to lift his head while on his belly, bear weight on his legs while standing, and can hold his head level with his shoulders when pulled into a sitting position.

Where does the time go. I can't wait to see what he will do next.
