We Have a Squirmer On Our Hands

In the past four weeks or so Liam has gotten so active. When you pick him up, he is constantly kicking his feet. He also bucks back to hard you are afraid you are going to drop him sometimes.
Now when we put him in his crib on his back, he does not stay there for long! About four weeks ago, he learned to flip to his stomach and has been doing that with ease. In the past week or so, he has learned to flip from his stomach back to his back. This contributes to quite a bit of entertainment at the Costello household. When we put him down at night, we usually then retreat to the couch with the video monitor and laugh as he squirms all around trying to find a comfortable position.(much like his father does every night). Last night, when I checked on him in the middle of the night, he had done a complete 180 and then this morning, he was back to his original position. 360 degrees in the night without even waking up! That's impressive. :) We also had to purchase a breathable bumper because there have been many times that we have gone in his room and his legs are sticking out the slots of the crib or his head is completely nudged up into the corner.
It is great for his repositioning therapy that he is not sleeping on his stomach. I am hoping that 12 hours at night of him not being on his back will help his head.
Last week when he was taking a nap, he started sleeping in what I think is the cutest position a baby can sleep in. Here is a picture of him fast asleep with his butt right up in the air. Love it!
