Tummy Time

At Ashley's 2 month check up Dr. Filipo said to start doing tummy time 3-4 times a day to get her neck and back stronger. We had already been doing it a little, but now it is time to get down to business. My girlfriend got her this Boppy and it has a mat and toys to go with it that we'll bring out later, but she seems to do pretty well with it. She'll last about 3-4 minutes and then she's done. I guess they say they'll work up to more time later, but at least this gets her used to it. It is so cute to watch her look around and she loves when Brody comes up to her. Now she's right at his level and they can really get a good look at each other. Another thing we've started to do it put her down in her crib. We started this on New Year's Eve when we had friends come over and we didn't want her to wake up with the noise. We have a video monitor and absolutely love it. Anytime we think she is waking up we can look at the monitor and see if her eyes are open or if she's just fussing in her sleep. Without it I think I would be checking on her every hour to make sure she was ok. Now we can just look at the monitor and she what she's up to. It's funny though because our neighbors have the same monitor so we can see each others baby when they're asleep. We figured this out when we first set up the monitor and was testing it out. We changed the channel and saw another child sleeping. We thought that was pretty weird. Come to find out that it was our neighbors baby that we could see when we switched the channel.
