Tummy Time

I am probably the worst mom about the whole “tummy-time” thing. I didn’t realize I was until I looked at some pictures of my friend Anna’s little girl sitting like this in her boppy at 7 weeks. So, since Joseline is almost 3 months old, I thought, oh, Joseline should be able to do that, right?

Ha ha. So Joseline could barely lift her head off the floor. Anyway, I realized that I haven’t been giving Joseline tummy time every day, so ever since that day (about a week ago) I’ve started giving Joseline tummy time every day! Now look at her. And she can do this without the boppy, as well. She just likes the boppy better because she can see more. I also like to give her tummy time on the bed, because she’s higher up so she can look at more stuff.

I think she was strong enough to do this since day one, but she just didn’t know how to do it, since she hadn’t had practice. Now she enjoys tummy time a lot more :)

Here is Joseline on the floor the first time she started coming all the way up like that. I put some toys in front of her so she would maintain interest in holding up her head. Vincente thought that was a great idea, so he started giving her even more toys… what are brothers for!

(by the time I took this picture, Joseline was tired of tummy time… but I promise that she was holding her head up!)
