These pictures may seem to the average person to be no big deal, but it is huge for David to now be starting to spend some time on his tummy! He has had horrible reflux and takes Zantac twice daily, along with Prevacid at night. He has been slow to gain weight due to the reflux and has always refused tummy time because of the pressure and pain it puts on his belly. It is always painful to watch/listen to him scream. As of a week ago, he would still lie on his tummy, scream, and smash his face into the blanket, without even trying to lift his head. With that being said, our 6 month old has been referred for physical therapy because as of last week, he had only rolled over maybe 2-3 times (with assistance) and that is typically a 4 month milestone. He apparently has increased tone in his upper back and neck due to the lack of tummy time. Thankfully, he is finally starting to tolerate it and he rolled over twice on his own yesterday and two more times today!!!! We are so proud of him!!!! Maybe we won't need that physical therapy afterall??
