Twenty-four short of twelve

Twenty-four hours short of twelve weeks, that is. These photos were taken a day before Frances' three month birthday.


I've got her propped up on her boppy (fancy pillow for nursing) for some Tummy Time. Do you know about tummy time? Tummy time is when moms put babies on their stomachs to encourage them to do push-ups in preparation for crawling. Only, all the babies I know hate it, so the moms aren't very good about getting around to it. It's basically an exercise program you can feel guilty about ignoring from birth! Great invention.

Frances' hands are her new best friends. She sucks on them whenever possible.
Three months down! Cheers to Frances!
Mark is back at school now, so there are going to be a lot less travel photos and a lot more close-ups of Frances. Not such a bad thing, yes?

  1. Morgan, my doc told me even if she just pushes up on your chest you've done some time!!! just hold her on your chest.

  3. Unfortunately, my pediatrician told me push-ups on mom's chest don't count, the angle of incline isn't enough. Another example of there being no one right answer when it comes to parenting. Sigh...

  4. Push-up, smush-ups...it's all a bunch of hooey...says the wise old aunt. I don't think Nora spent more than about 5 minutes doing tummy time, and she survivied.

    We started reading "Ramona the Pest" tonight. It's actually the 2nd book in the Ramona series but when she's in kindergarten, so it seemed a good place to start with Nora. The two of us were in stitches! So much fun.

  5. Jocelyn, tell Nora her Auntie Mongo loved the Ramona books when I was little. In about second grade, Ramona was my hero.
