The Terrors of Tummy Time!

Andrina is a very easy baby to care for overall. She's does not cry that much. She does not fuss that much any more. She loves getting a bath. She does not mind getting her diaper changed at all. She smiles, coos, babbles, plays, and interacts with others. She's reaching all of her developmental milestones. And she is doing better with naps. Her biggest problem has always been TUMMY TIME! She hates it, and I mean she HATES it! Usually, within a few minutes of putting her on her belly she starts crying, which quickly turns to screaming! I've tried everything-getting down on the floor with her, face to face, laying her on my chest, laying her across my lap. I had bought her a boppy tummy time toy that helped a little bit but not much. Everyday tummy time is difficult. Once in a while, she will go a whole 5 or 6 minutes before she starts crying. So today I was very pleasantly surprised when she went a whole 11 minutes! She even seemed to be enjoying herself. She smiled back at me and cooed some while on her belly. I was thrilled! This is PROGRESS! I only hope it lasts and is not a one time thing. Although it may be as I bought her another boppy tummy time toy and it was the 2nd time she used it today. So maybe it was the novelty of the new tummy time mat. Here's some pictures:

Andrina seems to be enjoying herself.

A close-up, and she's even smiling!

Getting upset now. This session of Tummy Time is not going to last much longer...
