Tummy Time Sucks

Almost 8 months old now, one thing is clear for Nate. He still hates that tummy time. He'll give you a smile if you work for it, sure, but left on his own, tummy time might as well be water-boarding.

It's hard to hear him moaning and wimpering. We cheer him on, stick a toy in front of his face or make silly faces so that he gets the idea that this could be a good time if he lets it. If only he'd roll over onto his back, he'd be able to skirt this baby tradition. But his left arm gets kind of stuck, creating a wedge against rolling over. This is when Nate gets most frustrated and enraged. It's funny actually if he wasn't so upset. OK, it's still funny. Not for Nate.
