Maddy's Tummy Time

 I try to get Madeline on her tummy for a few minutes at least once a day.  Here's a play-by-play of one session this week.  The mirror motivates her to raise her head to look at her reflection.

 And before I could even get a photo, she rolled to the right by accident.  Her head usually leads the way.  Her head is a force of nature.

 Trying again.  Counterbalancing by raising her legs in the air.

 She got her head and shoulders up really high that time.

 Face plant.  But she soldiers on.

 Legs in the air again.

 And a face plant again.

 She tried to recover but rolled to the left this time.  It was at this point that she threw in the towel.

Her reward for enduring tummy time: gazing at a beautiful baby in the mirror, while resting on her back. She's a trooper.

If at first you don't succeed, try and try again! A trooper she is! It's great to see Maddy becoming more active. She's doing just fine. Love, Dad
