Tummy Time

   Everytime I've tried tummy time with Emily she cries or is only happy if someone is down on the floor with her, even then it only lasts about 2-3 minutes.  When I put her down this evening she was fine. She sucked on her fist ( she can almost get the whole thing in her mouth ) , talked   ( ok babbled) to the dog and pushed herself up and looked at the rattle I put on one corner of the blanket for about 15 minutes.  I know, it's only 15 minutes but that's such huge thing. It shows she can entertain herself, that she's getting strong enough she can push herself up and hold it for a few minutes, and that she hasn't given up on talking with the dog. It also shows that my Emily Grace isn't a newborn anymore.  It's been about 2  and a half months since I've had her.  She's grown so quickly and changed so much! My sister-in-law just had a baby. He's a teeny little thing. When I saw Emily side by side with him it hit me like a ton of bricks that my baby is getting bigger. But it's ok, Emily and I talked and worked it out. I'm going to go to college with her.  Lol. I know I can't, but I'd like to be in denial a little longer. Today tummy time maybe she'll start scooting with purpose next week.
