Workin' out

Now that Claire is a whopping 2 months old already, we have to make sure she gets some workin' out in each day to help strengthen her neck.  "They" (whoever they are) recommend infants get two 10 minute sessions of tummy time a day.  Unfortunately, Claire HATES tummy time.  She's usually good for about 3-4 minutes and then she either freaks out and cries or she lays her head down and goes to sleep.


Here's a rare pic of her during tummy time NOT crying.
She may hate tummy time but she LOVES her bumbo seat.  We tried it out for the first time last week since she's been doing pretty good holding her head up on her own and she actually cried when I took her out of it after 10 minutes.  


Here she is the very first time we sat her in it.
 I think I like this thing.
 Look mom no hands!
 I could hang out here all day


Now I know I've been slacking on my posts so I do have some catching up to do.  Here are some of the highlights from my last post 10 days ago.


Mommy and Claire getting ready to go to dinner with Nana and Poppa for Daddy's 30th birthday.
 She's getting so big already!
Picked Claire up her first pair of cowboy boots.
Seriously mom with the pictures?
Claire hanging out with daddy before watching the sad sad Phillies game on Friday night.
Not so happy after the game.
Thankfully the weather was absolutely gorgeous for the rest of the weekend to make up for the disappointing Phils.  We took full advantage and spent the entire weekend outside.  

Took a walk over to the new Penn Park which was so pretty.
With some really cool views of the city.
Too sunny to be without shades :)
Here's a play by play of daddy making Claire smile before bedtime.
Speaking of bedtime, I really don't want to jinx it but I think we may have a sleep-through-the-nighter.  Every single night for the past week and a half Claire has slept for at least 8 hours straight.  She usually goes to bed around 10-10:30pm and sleeps until 6:30am.  She eats quick and then is back to bed until 9:30am. 
After such a good night's sleep she's the happiest baby....and so are mommy and daddy :)
Can't believe our little Claire is 2 months old already!  Time is flying by way too fast!

  1. awwwww, she is so cute!!! So great she is sleeping through the night for you guys! (be careful, whenever I write about my girls being good sleepers or good eaters on the blog, I usually jinx it, ha) Olivia absolutely hated tummy time too, Claire will get more used to it! Until she learns to roll over, then she just won't stay there. :)

  4. That's good to hear Lauren! She really really doesn't like it. She literally only lasts a couple minutes before screaming crying. I don't know if I'm supposed to let her cry it or or just ease her into it?? Hopefully she'll still figure out how to roll over and crawl ha.
