Happy naked tummytime


Its a miracle... Brianna enjoys tummy time! I have no idea what happened. One day she whined and complained (or completely freaked out) when I put her prone.... but in the past few days, whenever we are doing diaper changes, she ARCHES her tummy up in the air and pushes with her feet. I give her a nudge to help her complete the flip, and then suddenly she is soooo happy to see the new view of the world!
But this only happens during diaper or clothes-changing time....
Maybe she just likes tummytime naked.

Brianna is not unlike most 4 months olds. By the end of the 4th month, she should be able to lift her head up 90 degrees, laugh out loud(3 2/3 mo), and follow an object in an arc about 6" above her face for 180 degrees(from one side to the other). She will probably be able to hold head steady when upright, on her stomach - raise chest - supported by her arms, roll over (one way), grasp a rattle held to backs or tips of her cute little fingers, andd pay attention to a raisin or other very small object. The raisin following may happen closer to 4 1/4 months - depending on the availability of the raisin.

That is great that she is enjoying it. I have learned that on our next baby, I am going to put them on their tummy as much as possible during the first months. I think I waited a little bit long. Alli loves it now, but it was a struggle for her for the longest time. That is fun about Brianna.

wow, "debbie and steve smith family" (which i'm assuming is actually just your mom) sure does know her stuff on what age babies should be able to do stuff! did she have a book right in front of her or is that just from raising 8 kids?! by the way, i love watching millionaire also.

mom, youre weird. I love you to death.... but you really are quite odd. I know youre reading that off of a website or book and adding your commentary.
No raisins for Brianna. Choking hazard.
And dont tell me she is not unlike most 4 month old babies. She is completely exceptional. Havent I told you about her 3rd grade reading level achievement and ability to speak Latin? We are currently mastering cartwheels and dunking.

Weird how they all of the sudden love the tummy. C. rolls and rolls now back to front front to back and is making crawling motions on her tummy, which is kind of scary and Brianna is getting so big. They grow so fast.
