I'm not sure how much conscious thought Aiden has put into it, but he is beginning to discover that if he moves his arms and legs around, his body moves.
Since I came home tonight he was about as squirmy as I have ever seen him, and his squirms seem to have a purpose. Mommy said that she left him on the bed while she went to get something and when she came back he had scooted himself up against his baby bathtub. Not sure exactly how far that was, but he is moving.
Of course, since he hates tummy time, he is scooting on his back, but hey, it's progress. Hopefully soon he will get those arms going and won't mind tummy time so much because he is holding himself up real well.
It was another rough night last night. Three in a row now. Usually we get two really rough nights and then a "crash" night. That didn't happen last night. He was pretty restless just about the entire night.
We're back in the crib in his snuggle nest tonight, and so far so good. He has been down for about a half hour and seems to be doing okay. We'll see.

When I was there last weekend, I had Aiden on a recieving blanket on the floor on his tummy. He didn't seem to like it too much, but then I propped one of the mirror toys (against the wipes box)where he could just barely see it and he did skoot around on his tummy to get a better look. Only lasted about 5 minutes or so. Still, as he gets better at grasping toys, he will enjoy tummy time more.
Love,
MIMI
