Back in the day, before the launch of the "Back to Sleep" campaign, babies used to reach a lot of tummy-type milestones earlier (lifting their heads, crawling, rolling over, etc.) because they slept on their tummies. Now these developments are delayed slightly because babies don't spend as much time this way (well worth the over 50% decrease in SIDS deaths in the last decade or so).
It has become increasingly important to give babies so-called tummy time to help them reach these developmental milestones as well as to avoid flat-head syndrome (that's a real thing...not some incredibly obscure dork reference to the old Zork games).
We spend a lot of time on our tummies here. Mr. Liam is going to be like mommy, though, and often falls asleep this way.
Our hard work is paying off, though.

According to my mom, it's taken this long only because his (rather large) head is packed full of so many brains.

I think he's like a puppy....He's going to grow into it all..He'll have size 12 feet...He'll be 6'5 or taller...towering over his parents. :) :) He'll have long strong fingers....And Great Aunties, we all know what that means..!!! We'll have our own tv show called Date my Great Aunties.....If they don't approve..... you don't stand a chance....run...!!! It's not Liam's fault he has a larger head..again parents fault...Grammy Cathi is right....What do you expect when 2 people that
know so much have a baby...Just think how cute he is going to look in a cowboy hat...Now on the other hand.. since Liam is going to grow up to be so wonderful..he'll need a little sister or two to keep him grounded...How bout it?? :) :)
