NOT enjoying "Tummy Time". We're supposed to let him play on his stomach like this at least once a day so that he learns how to raise his head and learns the motions of crawling. He loved it the first two times we did it and never as much again. He much prefers "Tummy Time" spent on top of Mommy or Daddy which defeats the purpose because he falls asleep there within minutes. (Pic taken 5/1, aged almost 5 weeks.)
This was a better Tummy Time session. Pic is blurry because that's the way it goes with Alex. He's either asleep/about to be asleep or he's awake, active, laughing and moving. (Pic taken 5/3, 5 weeks old.)
Great smile even if those feet are whizzing around. Pic was taken 5/3 at 6:20 PM - one of his usual, Active-Mommy-Let's-Play Times, after his afternoon nap.
His usual response to most toys right now. At this point, he's more interested in us than in toys. (Pic taken 5/5, 5 and a half weeks old.)
This is the usual result when I take him out to establish a "play time" with toys. We took out all of those toys to see which, if any, he grooved to. Eventually, he took to the linked rings, but not this day. He was entertained a little by the teething ring sheep in the upper most left hand corner, but only when I sang "Bah, Bah Black Sheep" with it. Pic taken 5/5.
Finally the crib! We were able to set it up a couple of days after it arrived. We ordered and paid for the set on 3/2, being told to expect delivery in 7-10 business days. It arrived two months later when Alex was more than five weeks old. WHAT a tale. I will never again use Babies/Toys R Us for large purchases like furniture or purchases of a lot of items.
You'd think he had gas here. I always thought he had gas when he'd twist like this. Nope, he likes to twist like this when he wants to wake up. Pic taken 5/5, five and a half weeks old.
He took to the crib surprisingly well. He seems fascinated by the mobile and by the dinosaurs on the bumper. He liked it even better when I put the sleep positioner down and added the iPod Munchkin to play his favorite tunes.

Sitting up is sooooo much more relaxing and fun than stupid ol' "Tummy Time". These pants don't yet fit him. Poor thing either wears sleepers or goes pantless in onesies. Pic taken 5/7, almost 6 weeks old.
Morning with Mommy! This is his favorite Play Time - about 8 AM. That's his usual mood in the mornings. Pic taken 5/8, almost 6 weeks old.
Can we play now Mommy? (5/8, 8:30 AM)
No, I asked "Can we PLAY now? Is this play? What do you mean you have to eat?" Pic taken 5/8, almost 6 weeks old.
One of his favorite "Cuddle Times", between 8 and 11 PM. Pic taken at 10 PM (5/8).
