Bumbo & Tummy Time

Madison's head strength is getting better and better each day. I decided on Friday to try her in the bumbo. She's been in it before, but she really couldn't hold her head up that well. I basically had to have my hands positioned around her so she wouldn't slump over. However, on Friday she did so well during tummy time that I decided to try it out again. As you can see, she actually did really well with the bumbo. Her Daddy was taking her picture, so she kep grinning at him. I know I'm biased, but she's just so darn cute!!

We've been slacking on doing tummy time lately. She does really well when she's on your chest, but she really, really hates to be put on the floor. We've used the boppy to help prop her up. She does well with it, but gets really upset after like 2 minutes. This was taken right before she started crying.

So, I told Jeff that we really needed to see if there was anything else we could do to get her more interested in doing tummy time. So, he did some research and someone suggested using an exercise ball. I was a little skeptical at first. I mean it just sounded weird to me. Well, I'm happy to say that she absolutely loved it, and she lasted almost 10 minutes on it. Hopefully, this works for her!

Quick update...she's doing great at her neck exercises. She's even starting to turn and lay on her right side now. She never really did that before. YAY!!!
