Babies are fun and their company gives an absolute delightful feeling now. Beautiful moments will keep overwhelming you. Baby looks adorable when he mirrors your mood and expressions with his cute face. Physically, baby has full control over head when he reaches the age of 4 months. Increased tummy time sessions will surely give the much-needed practice to the little achiever.
