Entry #1: Head and Neak Control

I have made many observations on newborns (ages 0-12 months) using head and neck control. For example, when my baby cousin was about 1 month old, I held him and I had to make sure that I was giving him the support that he needed to keep his head and neck up. I also had to be sure that I was still supporting his head and neck when I was handing him to another person. Another observation that I made was when once a week, I would babysit twins with my mom. The twins were about seven months old when i started babysitting for them and by this time they had mastered sitting up and were often attempting to crawl. Another experience that I had with this was when I was at the beach with another one of my cousins. My cousin was about four months old at this time. I observed that he was able to lift his head when laying on his stomach and keep it up. He was able to do this because his neck mucsles were getting stronger as he grew.
