Kicking, playing and "bonking" himself

Sam is a little kicker. He gets one leg going and just kicks and kicks when he is happy and usually he does it with the opposite leg when he is upset. We have started putting him on a play mat that is motion activated and when the music stops he kicks it to make it start up again.

He loves the new play mat - it is much more basic than his other one, but he prefers the way this one lights up and plays music. It is so cute to watch his little face light up. If the room is a little dark so that the lights really stand out he will start talking and squealing like crazy.

We started putting him in the exersaucer a couple of days ago and he is trying to play with the toys. He can turn on the music and animal sounds, roll the one toy and he is trying to move the balls.

A few weeks ago Sam started bonking himself in the face while he is sleeping. He wakes up and starts screaming - I am sure I wouldn't like getting woken up by being hit in the nose or eye either. It usually takes him a couple of minutes and then he calms down and goes back to sleep. A few days ago he had a really "bad" nap where he woke himself up doing this about 5 times during the same nap. I felt bad for him but there isn't much I can do about it.
