Unsuccessful tummy time, a smile, and a hug

Tummy time is NOT Olivia's favorite time of the day. Sometimes she cries, which makes me turn her back over. And sometimes....she falls asleep, which is so cute, but unsuccessful in terms of tummy time.



This is Olivia looking at herself in the little mirror hanging from the toy thing in her bassinet. Love that smile!



And, sometimes, you just need a hug. This is Olivia's friend, Rinki.



Okay, so that one was staged. But, Olivia really does love Rinki. This one is after she pulled Rinki's leg toward her and held on:

  1. My pediatrician told me not to worry about tummy time. She strengthens her core and neck muscles while holding up her head when you hold her up on your shoulder. (Actually he said, if you put the baby down in the old days it would get eaten!)

    I didn't do organized tummy time with John or Christopher. My sister Jenny is very good at doing all the right developmentally encouraging tasks. I am not. And our both kids pretty much hit all the goals right on time. Although, Jenny is the one who taught Christopher how to sit up!

  2. I love that she's laughing at herself in the mirror!
