We've got lift-off!

I've been trying to incorporate tummy time into Vivian's daily routines, now that she is awake and alert for a few hours each day. A friend from St. Mark's (who's a pediatric physician's assistant) recommended the book Retro Baby, published by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which is insightful in knowing what kinds of simple activities are most stimulating and appropriate for infants.

Vivian's tummy time this afternoon finally had lift-off -- she lifted and moved her head from side to side! Talk about being a proud mama.
