Tummy Time

I could have happily lived my life out never knowing what 'tummy time' is, but no such luck. People in the know say that you must place your baby belly-down on the floor regularly so that he will develop strong neck and back muscles for future crawling and walking. Keeping your infant in his carseat all day is a no-no, so is keeping him caged like a veal. Nate just does not enjoy his Tummy Time. After a minute or two he dissolves into frustrated squeals and gets a mouthful of cat hair from Bean, who inevitably will rub against his face all lovey-like.

I'm pretty confident that he's developing the appropriate neck and back muscles despite the lack of Tummy Time, but time will tell. If he hasnt learned to walk by puberty due to underveloped Tummy Time muscles he can just add this to his list of reasons to hate me.
