Tummy time is a strange thing... See, when I was a baby the doctors told moms to put their babies to sleep on their stomachs, but NOW.... there is a new recommendations... and a whole campaign to go along with it..."Back to Sleep".

We follow the rules and put Lia down on her back most of the time, but there is a flip side....Tummy time...and they even added a tag line for this...."Back to Sleep, Tummy to Play".
It seems that kids are on their back so much that they are not developing their neck muscles as fast and are slower to crawl and walk. So, we are doing some tummy time each day and getting stronger and stronger...

Lia didn't like it at first, but I think she's beginning to like looking at the world from a new angle!

She is also finding her tongue and enjoys sticking it out now...


Oh, and we are trying to start a new routine in the morning... we go for a walk and then come back and do pilates in the morning. Lia is really getting into it!

That picture of Lia in the orange outfit is adorable! And looks like you're getting in some of your own 'tummy' time, Rachel ;)
