Tummy Time

Benson is a pretty pleasant fellow--except when it comes to tummy time! He goes berserk as soon as his belly hits the blanket. He tightens every muscle in his body and goes into superman mode with both his arms and legs in the air. I don't know how he does it. But, Dan is a persistent Dad and lays by him for the whole thing. For the first few weeks Dan would give him a little start by tilting him on his side and Benson would finish up turning onto his back. But, the day before he turned 6 weeks Dan laid him flat on his tummy and within 20 seconds he had turned himself over onto his back all by himself. Since then, tummy time hasn't been as miserable. He still isn't pleasant, but he's relaxed a little bit. Here he is at his tummy time best.
