10 Reasons To Love Tummy Time!

Put Little L on her tummy and she starts to grunt, swing her arms, hold up her head then finally lets out a WAIL!

I immediately turn her back over and call it a day. Despite being a second time mama, there are things I didn’t particularly master the first time around — this clearly being one of them. When I was at the pediatrician two weeks ago, she reminded me to give her plenty of “tummy time” and teach her how to love it. I said, “Oh she doesn’t like it” but the doctor assured me it was good for their development and that is a learned habit.

I did skin-on-skin from the second she was born, but haven’t since her first month. Now we are back to tummy time here at the very busy casa — even my four year old says “Mami, don’t forget to give Little L tummy time!”

Here I outline the 10 reasons and benefits of tummy time for you and baby!

Last week they finally came. The balance bikes that I spent hours researching and mulling over which to choose and finally ordering, they finally arrived! Oh glorious day. What first began as a bit of a long-wait in shipping turned into a perfect collision of time and circumstance. You see, I’m a lover of my iPhone. iPhone ‘appery’ as it were – is probably one of my favoured vices. Photography, photo-editing and movie-making apps to be precise.

10 Fun And Memorable Mother's Day Activities

This will be my fourth year celebrating Mother’s Day and the first with my 3 month old daughter — needless to say I am really looking forward to spending the day with my husband and kids!

However, as much as I would love to just sit back, relax and do NADA the reality is that’s just not going to happen! I’m sure this is the same for all mamas out there — we get flowers, a gift, a card and maybe have breakfast made, but what about the rest of the day?

Here I’ve put together ten fun activities that you can do with baby, toddler and the hubby which are both fun and create lasting memories. Now you can always say “remember that Mother’s Day when…”

Happy Mother’s Day — Here’s to simply being AWESOME!

Little L's Diary: I Know My Brother Loves Me!

I’m back!

I know it’s been over a month, and last week mami and I fell behind because we were moving to a new house. So you can imagine how much mami had to do. As for me, no matter where I am, it’s business as usual — milk, sleep and poo — but now I stay awake a little longer and because of that my hermano M has started to play with me!
