7 Weeks and Tummy Time

Gavin turned 7 weeks on Friday. Now I wonder when we stop measuring his life in weeks and just stick to months. When he's almost a year old, do I really need to say that he's 51 weeks old? I also never understood why age is continued to be measured in months after the age of 1. I guess parents needs to know how many months their child is in order to find the right size clothes although the pounds and length listed on the tag is probably more accurate than the age in months anyway.






We also try to give Gavin "tummy time" a few days every week. It helps him top develop his muscles. From what we have read, I believe he should spend 30 minutes on his tummy a week. He can sometime push himself along to reach Daniel or myself. He has the motions for crawling started, but obviously, does not have the strength yet. Sometimes "tummy time" ends in crying and I can understand that. You would cry too if you were stuck on your tummy and pretty much helpless. However, when we interact with him while he's on his tummy, he is usually much happier.



I took this about 10 minutes ago. I love pictures of sleeping babies, so cute and innocent!
I'm sure he will wake up soon and be hungry, so I better get to the laundry and dishes!
