Self-imposed Tummy Time?

After I fed and changed Benjamin's diaper when he woke up this morning, I set him in the crib while I went to the bathroom myself. When I came back, I found Benjamin like this - on his side with his hips turned toward the mattress. He seemed quite content this way and I waited a few minutes to see if he would be able to flip the rest of the way, but he just couldn't quite get his shoulder to shift back from under him. I suspect he might be close to flipping onto his tummy! In the video at the bottom of this post, you can see how he flips to his back when I put him on his tummy. He was able to do this at around one month but sort of lost his ability to do this until this morning!

In a previous post, I mentioned that we take pictures of Benjamin with his bear to track his growth. As he is now a big three month old, I took a picture of him with his buddy yesterday.

Benjamin also seems to be getting better at sitting up in his Bumbo chair. He loves sitting in it, but as you can see in the video below, his head is still not quite strong enough to sit in it for very long.

To end this post, I want to say that Benjamin is presently taking a nap in his crib! We are finally making progress - thank goodness! He still sleeps wonderfully in his crib at night.
