Baby doing sit ups?!

I am baffled! Paula has started doing this thing where, when she's on her back for a diaper change, she lifts her head and upper torso up as if she's doing crunches. It looks so funny. Is anyone else's baby doing this? It doesn't seem like something she should be strong enough to do, but I have no idea.

It doesn't seem to be a response to pain or anything. She just... does some sit ups, makes a cute grunty face as she does it, and keeps chewing on her hands. Maybe she just really wants a 6 pack.

    Keith does this too all the time I think it's because he wants to sit up and see what's going on.

    Yep, Amir too. He's trying to sit up. He starts to fuss if he's on his back or leaning back too long. He wants to see!

    Landen does this if I am carrying him cradled in my arms but facing out. He wants to see everything that is going on!

    Killian loves to do this too. We lean him back in the corner of the couch and he always tries to sit up like a big boy. I love it!

    Stella does it. I think she's self concious about me telling her how cute and chubby her belly is.

    It's so cute! This kid probably already has better abs than I do. I love putting her in the bumbo seat but unfortunately she spits up the most when she is in a seated position. bah! I guess I should just put a blanket down on the bumbo first and just plan on changing her outfit after a while, because she does love to sit... when I'm holding her to sit in my lap I feel like I need gloves with all the spit up sometimes. lol.

    Haha, yes ma'am! Evie only does it when she's being held, though. It's like she's trying to get up and walk away, she just can't figure out how.

    Yup, Liam is doing that too. Then he'll kick his legs and scream (a happy scream of course)

    I have no way of describing it. But sometimes she looks at me and starts moving and wants to just go. And she gets so frustrated by this little body that just will not cooperate with her whims.

    L did the same thing at that age and still does it. It's like she wants to sit up instead of lay down. She will definitely have abs before I do! LOL

    Patrick does it too. I am really starting to believe he is truly 2 weeks ahead because I carried him to 42 weeks. My pedi and nurse think the same think since he shows signs of development up to 3 month olds.
