Will has been trying so hard to crawl these days.  It has been a joy watching him struggle and giggle on his tummy as he pushes up lifting his tummy off the floor.  Yesterday he started to scoot in a circle!!!  This was an exciting time for the little guy given that up until now he has only been scooting backward.  We are still waiting to see his official crawl.   But I felt it was time to reward his efforts witha little baby massage!

Palm Massage and Finger Rolls

Waiting until he is nursing I decided to give his hands a much needed massage.  Taking his palm into my hand and doing a roll between my thumband index finger.  Will was drifting to sleep so I decided to dress him in his nighty sothat he will be warm for the rest of the massage.

With baby so relaxed it will be easy to do finger rolls. Take your baby’s entire hand into your hand. Opening baby’s hand, gently extend a finger and gently roll the finger between your thumb and fore finger.  Repeat this technique for each finger.
