Naps are so 5 weeks ago!

Yo!  Thanks for reading my blog.

So, we have discovered that our little 7 week old Benjamin does not like naps.  Could it be that Mommy is so interesting that he just does not want to miss any exciting thing she does?  Probably.  Could it be that there is so much to see and learn?  Likely.  Could it be that he really does not like the state between awake and sleep?  More likely than the first option.   Poor little Ben cries every nap during that in between state.

Well, since he has not really been napping, we have been doing a lot of playing (Mommy's attempt to tire him out!).  Benjamin has discovered the Noah's ark decals on his wall by his crib, the monkey mirror in the car so Mommy and Daddy can spy on him while they drive, and is beginning to follow the animals on his mobile as they go around.  He particularly seems to like the panda bear.  Daddy gave him his first horsey ride on his knee, which he loved!

We have been making sure to have our 15 minutes of tummy time a day.  Since Benjamin sleeps on his back, it is important for him to have time on his belly.  He is not a fan but he is getting so much stronger!  He complains the entire time (video to come) and, as you can see, he has figured out that if he goes to sleep, tummy time ends!  He is one smart boy.  Mommy still has to figure out her counter attack.

This stinks.

This sleeping thing works pretty well!

Benjamin has decided 20 minutes of napping was enough so here ends today's post.

Hmm, would I rather take a nap or do tummy time.  That's a tough question.
