Khéna has only been on the floor for a few minutes a handful of times and I just started recently… he is mostly always in my arms or being worn or in Simon’s arms like I believe a young baby should be…
One of the things that I am really annoyed at hearing is that tummy time is important (it is of course if a baby is in containment devices all day), that babies shouldn’t be held too much, or the myth that they won’t learn how to sit, crawl, walk etc if they are always in arms or being worn…
well… I put Khéna on the floor earlier today and sat him down and here he is…
and a few pics just because he’s cute….
The link to the video didn’t work. Still I saw your flickr pics and that’s great he’s sitting!
Grabbed the url… I am tired! Cute video!
Khena is so adorably chubby! I agree with you about the tummy time myth. You know, there is some evidence that stimulation of the vestibular system (the organ in the inner ear that regulates balance) is essential for development of motor skills, which explains why babies and children love rocking, swinging, bouncing, etc. And of course carrying your baby is a great way to stimulate his vestibular system! Another prime example of our babies telling us exactly what they need if only we pay attention. Keep up the good work Mom and Dad!
He’s adorable! I loved the grunting.
