Ben LOVES to be on his stomach. He immediately flips over onto his stomach when we lay him down. The only problem is that he hasn't figure out how to roll back over onto his back so he gets really upset when he is tired of being on his stomach.
He is a very strong kid. He is starting to sit up for a few minutes at a time.
He isn't always excited about sitting up though.
He gets pretty high up there and there have been a couple times when he gets frustrated with being on his stomach and we can't pick him up at that moment that he rocks back a little on his knees.
He is going to be very active when he's mobile. He already ends up in weird positions. When I put him down I can put him down facing one way on his stomach and he will wake up on his stomach facing the opposite way. He definitely wants to get in on the action and go play with the kids.
We gave him rice cereal a couple weeks ago. He finally seems to be liking it. It hasn't really helped his sleeping at night much. I need to start sleep training so he can learn to go back to sleep in the middle of the night.
He is a bit of a cat-napper. We might get one good nap out of him but the others aren't for long. It makes it really frustrating when I have the other two not taking naps.
He's such a cute little boy. He's growing like a champ and loves his sisters. The cutest thing is when Allyson and Ben are in the car. Allyson can't get in his face but she can make him laugh pretty hard.
She is also really good at singing to him to make him stop crying in the car.
