Belly Guru


The back is no longer in style. It's her belly that Lia is now infatuated with, more so by lying on it, rather than filling it with milk. (Drinking obviously takes up too much of her precious tummy time.) The belly offers a great vista, but makes it hard to move about. Lia can either support herself on her arms, or pull the kness to her belly while falling on her nose. And thus she inevitably rolls onto her back again (when someone comes to her rescue and flips her over - the tummy is still a one-way street, once you've rolled from back to stomach you are actually stuck). On the back Lia can at least hop forward by pushing herself with her feet. But as you can't see whatcha hittin', this form of locomotion is no long-term solution. It becomes especially annoying when you hit the top of the stroller, although it's quite fun when Mommy uses the back wheels to shake her daughter down. But lying on the tummy is simply the best. The view is just so much better than blue skies and an occasional cloud. And off we go with a queen's wave...








A quick power nap on the belly is a must.

Do the loco-motion, the loco-motion...remember the Kylie song? Anyhow, Lia's on the right track! Soon lying on the stomach in the stroller will become somewhat of a hassle for mommy because she'll climb out - that's when the sitting/ half laying time has come! :o)
Call me old-fashioned, we have the same hair bandana but I bind it under her chin which makes her look like a baby from the 50s...or 70s as I used to have something like that, too.
