Mirror, Mirror

Tummy time has always been hard with Charlotte. When we first tried to get her to do tumy time she's lay there for, oh, 30 seconds before letting out one of her loudest screams to let us know she was done with this. After a month and a half of this she finally decided that it wasn't so bad. She'd actually stay on her tummy for a good 20 minute stretch. I was so proud! Then we moved and she decided that the tummy was no fun anymore. Then at church yesterday I layed her down on her tummy. I expected it to last, a minute or two. To my surprise there were three other moms that brought their 1 and under aged kids to the back to play. They were all sitting there and the baby layed there watching them and recieving the toys they gave her and smiled at them. It was really fun. So today I decided to try and trick her. I layed her on the floor with her musical turttle, her favorite toy right now, and then set the mirror up so she could see herself. It worked for a while. She was smiling and laughing at herself and her turttle in the mirror. It was so funny!

You girls are off to an early start this morning! I guess your power is back on. Glad Charlotte is learning is enjoy tummy time - it's kind of necessary for the next stage - creeping & commando crawling! You are so clever to find her a "friend" to play with!
