Addibell has joined the throng of all the babies before her. She too HATES tummy time. And since she hates it....I hate it. Remind me again why it's so important that we lay her on her stomach daily and watch her cry and fuss?? Personally, I think this poor excuse for "muscle building" and "crawling preparation" is wayyyy overated!
But alas, much to our relief, we have found alternatives to this poor little baby torture they call tummy time. Ah yes, we've incorporated OUR tummies!! Just take a look....here she is hangin out with her Daddy. Little does she know, we've mysteriously tricked her into the dreadful tummy time. But THIS time she's loving it. And all it took was a little creative exploration on our parts. It's much more fun this way anyway. More smiles and laughs from baby equals more smiles and laughs from the Mommy & Daddy. Granted we haven't abandoned the old fashion version of tummy time with the blanket on the floor, but this gives us a nice break from the pain every once in awhile.
A successful and happy tummy time finally!
And here is the zoomed in shot of that cute little squeezy face (plus a lil drool). And proof that she is much happier with the new and improved tummy time. :D

That's a great idea! Tummy times does look like torture. I wouldn't want to be laying on my stomach and be struggling to lift my body! That picture of John and Addison is just too cute. What a great daddy :)
This totally "counts" as tummy time - you don't have to place babies on the floor to cry! It looks like she is doing great. Here's video - hope it's helpful for more "moves."
