Tummy Time — Gone RIGHT (10 weeks old)
Within the last week Quinn has began enjoying her play gym and all of the toys that hang from it… I decided to use this new found interest to my advantage and squeeze in some quality “Tummy Time”. In order to build up a baby’s trunk & core muscles (the muscles that are vital in hold up her head as well as sitting up and crawling) it is recommended that babies Quinn’s age spend at least 5 minutes on their tummy, 3 times a day. Until now, this has been a challenge (as noted in Tummy Time Gone Wrong)…
However, behold the images below of Quinn’s sequence of Tummy Time. 
STEP 1: Place baby on tummy, using a boppy pillow for support. Strategically place toys high enough so baby needs to raise head to enjoy them.
STEP 2: Baby notices Mr. Cow, lifts head to check it out.
STEP 3: Baby keeps head up, unsure about Mr. Cow, but willing to investigate further… (Mom excited to see that baby can hold head up so well!)
STEP 4: Baby very curious about Mr. Cow and his friends… Keeps head lifted and begins to spit bubbles…
STEP 5: Baby has clearly accepted Mr. Cow as a friend, rather than foe — All is right in the world of Quinn. (Mom is so excited — 5 minutes have passed with head lifted HIGH!)
STEP 6: With no warning, baby lays head on play mat… Clearly exhausted from a emotionally intense play-date and worn out neck muscles.
STEP 7: Baby has clearly worked up a massive appetite, during this 8 minutes of play-time… (Note: how she is eating her hand.)
STEP 8: Later that day, after an outfit change and numerous feedings — Proud mommy cuddles with daughter.
Ahhh… Sweet success…
