success.

yesterday we had a turning point with tummy time. i think we actually ENJOYED it for more than 37 seconds. this is huge in the hawkins' household. she normally screams from the second i put her on her tummy or plays dead. no really, i swear she thinks if she doesn't move i'll flip her back over. playing dead isn't really that productive either. but yesterday i put her on her tummy, she kinda cooed (maybe even a little smile) and she lifted her head like it was nobody's business. didn't even cry. took a look around, turned her head to the other side and did this a few more times...without making me afraid the neighbors were gonna call cps on me due the cries. we did this a couple more times throughout the day and it was the same thing! even this morning she did a great job. so i think we're turning the corner with this one. thank goodness. here's a little excerpt:


yes, this is my life. :)

  1. Yay for the big tummy time turning point! I bet she is enjoying the new view on things! What a great job she is doing holding up that oh so heavy little head :). She is a cutie pie!

  3. Yay Finley! She is so precious! Addison was like that for a while too, but she will now stay on her tummy longer before getting fussy. I think it's because she can hold her head up longer without getting tired. Addie and Finley need a play date soon! :-)
