{Video post} Tummy time

We weren’t always the best at doing tummy time. You’re supposed to do it as often as possible during the day, so the baby can build up neck strength and doesn’t get a flat head from laying down all the time. Sometimes it would end up being 5pm and I’d think “Ahh! Tummy time!” and then take Livi over to her playmat to try it out. She’s had a strong neck since she was born, so she’s never screamed during tummy time or hated it, but it’s something we probably could have done more often.

Now that she flips over every time I put her down, it’s tummy time, all the time.

Here’s a snippet of the video I recorded yesterday. I’m so happy to share this so you guys can see her “in person”.. and how she steals my heart every day <3

Hope you enjoy!
xoxo

    Cute video! She has the cutest eyes!

    I try to do tummy time everyday, and sometimes I forget…opps! Max sometimes likes it and sometimes doesn’t. He was balancing on his tummy and kicking his legs and arms trying to move, but couldn’t figure it out… hilarious!

    my niece and I had tummy time yesterday! she’s one week old, and so strong, she’s already lifting her head up and turning it on her own! she’s going to be crawling in no time. I was trying to get her into a curled up position to do some pics on her tummy, and all she wanted to do was get up, she planted her feet and her butt straight in the air. so funny.
    babies are my favourite 🙂

  16. Mandy on April 24, 2012 at 5:19 pm

    Adorable! I love the little smile/cheeky tongue she gave. I remember those days, where every little head lift was such an accomplishment. It seems like forever ago, but my little one is only 6 months old now and the meta game has completely changed, haha. They grow up too fast. 😀

  17. Janelle on April 24, 2012 at 5:21 pm

    Oh she is just darling! So, so sweet! Thanks for sharing!
