Our boy is getting stronger. Oh yes, indeed, he is. During our daily dose of "tummy time", Tyson shows increasing strength throughout his entire body. Granted, he is not yet crawling, but he is not far off. As you can see in the pics, he has no problem holding his head up high. And his arms and legs understand their role. However, his "buddha belly" is slowing the process. He does not yet have enough upper body strength or balance to lift the belly off the ground to allow successful crawling. Our little man has an intense desire to succeed at all that he does. Therefore, he naturally gets quite frustrated when he is unable to get anywhere in all his effort. He'll try really hard for about three or four minutes. He'll smile, coo, and move those pudgy arms and legs as much as he can. Then, after minutes of getting nowhere he'll have a miniature meltdown. A meltdown that only hugs and kisses seem to be able to cure. So it goes. Our little guy is getting so big. 17lbs and 2ft2in at 4 months.
