Micah has always been able to hold his head up really well, even since birth (one of the reasons why people joke that I gave birth to a toddler), so I've been doing tummy time with him quite frequently. He grunts and groans sometimes, but I think it's more from effort than from dislike because he'll certainly tell you when he's done. He keeps his head up for basically the entire time, even though he looks like a Bobblehead doll. His hat makes him look funny in this video (especially from which the angle the video is taken), but it matched his outfit, I promise!

I love how they are trying so hard and it's so much work for them--so cute!
He does hold his head up pretty well. What surprised me more was his arm strength. He lifted off his elbow on one side--go Micah!
We started Matthew on tummy time pretty much right away, but he still didn't like it. I guess when the hospitals put them on their backs, they get used to that really quickly.

He looks like he's trying to crawl!
