Tummy Time

Kali has hated tummy time since the day we started trying it out (about 2 weeks old).  She will lay there for a minute, and then start to whine and cry.  It's pretty funny and have I some video of it (I'll post those another day in succession).  Ever since she started rolling over from back to tummy, she will lay there on her stomach for a couple minutes and play, but then she'll look at me with the look of "What the hell? I don't like tummy time!!!"  It's hysterical.  So I'll roll her over, and the process starts over again.  She knows how to roll from tummy to back, but she only does it when she really wants to.

Wednesday night, I laid her down for bed about 9:30pm like normal.  She woke up at about 2:30am and when I walked in there, she was on her stomach.  I flipped out.  Ran into the bedroom and woke TJ up to ask him if he had gotten up with Kali and put her on her tummy.  He said that he hadn't woken up with her so I figured she did it on her own.  When I walked back in there, she was back to sleep...so I went back to bed too.  She woke up again at 7:15am.  She is apparently a tummy sleep, like her mommy and daddy.

Then Thursday night, TJ put her to bed. He said that he laid her on her tummy and we'll see how she does.  She slept from 9:30pm to 6:15am.  I was so excited!!!!!  I emailed my friend Theresa who works in our pediatrician's office, and asked her what Dr. Albibi's opinion of belly sleeping is.  She said that as long as she can hold her head up and move if she spits up, then she's fine.  Since she's been doing that for months now, I figured that it would be better if she slept on her stomach. 

Last night, I put her down on her stomach at about 10:00pm, she didn't wake up until 8:00am!!!!!!!  Can you say Happy Momma?!?!?!  YES!!!  And she seems to be so much happier as well.  She was great all day yesterday while my mom watched her and took all of her appropriate naps (which she's been fighting for a while).  And today, we have a busy morning.  So I'm crossing my fingers that she'll be good and happy all day!  Plus it's a beautiful day, so maybe a park visit is in order! :)

Alright, it is Kbug's nap time now and I have to get in the shower to start the day! 

HAPPY DAY!!!
