why does 3mth old press fists to his chest

[preciousstone]

it's the cutest thing. he holds both hands in a fist and presses both fists against his the middle of his chest. was wondering what you experienced mama's think it means when babe does this. he does it alot. so long as he's
still he's doing it.

I remember my LO doing that as well... I think it is a milestone when he can bring his hands together.

Could he be strengthening his abs? DS does little situps now, that I think started around that age.

As time goes by, I'm realizing the reason most kids do things is just because they can.
