1st Tummy Time

For those that don't know, doctors recommend daily tummy-time for babies since they're no longer supposed to sleep on their bellies(until they are proficient rollers and you can't stop them even if you tried!). This gives them the chance to get the exercises they once got when babies were regularly placed on their tummies to sleep. It also helps prevent flat-head. Once their belly-button stump has fallen off, you plop them on their belly and watch them suffer;) Many babies loath tummy-time at first, but it's a necessary evil if you want them to hit their developmental milestones on time. I never made Ben do it and he was such a late-starter! Emmie got regular workout sessions and did things on time or early. Here's Callie enduring her first torture session, otherwise known as tummy-time!


"What the hell are you doing to me?! Roll me over!!"

"Meh...it's not that bad."

"Actually? I sort of like this!"
