Tummy Time

Sydney went in for her 2-month check up and immunization shots about a week ago. She was right on target with her growth. She weighed in at 10 lb 10 oz and measured 23.25 inches in length. That put her at the 50th percentile in weight and 70th percentile in length. Not bad for a puny baby at 10 percentile for weight and length at birth. I guess we can give the steroids back to Barry Bonds. We won't be needing it. Sydney is doing just fine sucking down the Good Start soy formula and sleeping it off. That's my girl!!

She is good at some things and not so good with others. Tummy time did not go particularly well this morning. We got up bright and early to attend a Saturday picnic at noon. We figured we could get a few things done around the house before heading to the site. Sydney woke up right along side with us. She had decided that she did not want to be left alone on the big ol' bed. After a quick wash, feeding and changing, she was ready to go. We had her on the blanket on the floor in the family room. She was looking around, cooing, sucking on one of her mitts - you know, the usual baby stuff. We decided then to go for another session of tummy time. I got out the Boppy and placed Sydney on her chest on top of the Boppy. It went like this:

7:56 a.m. Sydney tackles the Boppy


7:58 a.m. Sydney gets a little encouragement from Daddy. Left eye starting to close.


8:03 a.m. Sydney said "screw it" and went to sleep


So much for tummy time. She was fast asleep, drooling on the Boppy as if it was Daddy's chest. The only good thing that came out of it is that I found another way to get her to go to sleep without having to hold her. Unfortunately, she did not sleep in this position for very long. We had to pick her up, for fear of SIDS anyway. Another long nap and we were off to the picnic.

That Sydney is totally precious! Hey, if I could still fall nap like that, I would, too! ;)
