Murrow is officially the cutest during his “tummy time”.  Kim will lean him up against his boppy and we get to watch him try to lift and control his head.  He loves it … but not necessarily as much as he loves eating his forearm.  Supposedly he’s beginning to be able to follow objects with… Continue reading Tummy Time
