TUMMY TIME! Ellie's homework from day care and her doctor is to get more comfortable spending time on her tummy. She's not been much of a fan of it since birth, but it's important for her development... so we're trying to get her on board. We try to distract her and help entertain her when she's working on tummy time. Ellie loves when we stack up blocks for her to tip over!
Ellie enjoys spending tummy time on either mom's or dad's belly. I'm sure they're nice and soft for her to lay on :) And this way she can slobber all over us and see our faces. She's gotten really good at scooting up so that she can really land some drool right on my face...
We also just pulled out this keyboard, which is a lot of fun for Ellie. The dogs are a little less enthused when they walk on it and it starts making noise. Very funny!
(P.S. Here Ellie is sporting a T-shirt Aunt Jen, Uncle Dan and cousin Mason brought her from Disney World! It was practically summer weather here on Wednesday, and Ellie and I spent a ton of time outside. She looked very summer-ready in her fun Winnie the Pooh T-shirt. Thanks guys!)

Do you have a little safety mirror that you can put on the floor with her? Some babies like to play with the baby in the mirror, and it helps distract them from the fact that they don't like tummy time. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea, Angie. We have a small mirror that I'll try this weekend. It might help in the uphill battle!
