Strongman Terwilliger

Holden is super strong. I swear he was working out in-utero, which would explain all the crazy movements I felt while I was pregnant. He actually loves "exercise." It's really cute. He has been able to hold his head up since the beginning and he started putting weight on his legs a couple of weeks ago. He quickly moved up to being able to stand only holding our hands. He really likes it and as he does it he gets super excited and starts smiling and making grunting noises like a weightlifter. It cracks me up. He'll look right at me as he does it and when I say, "Oh! You're so strong!" he gets even more excited.

Holden loves tummy time, too, which really threw me off because every kid I have tried tummy time with has hated it. When he first started doing it, which was pretty much as soon as we brought him home, we tried to start him slow with small intervals. But he'll cry and get really mad if we flip him over to his back. And when we flip him back on his belly, he’ll start to “coo” happily. It’s so funny.

We took this photo today. He stood like that for about a minute. Not bad for only 5 weeks old.
