inchworm

I called Summer a tapeworm when I was pregnant with her, because I was always so HUNGRY and had to eat all the time. Now Adam is calling her an inchworm - this last week, we started doing "tummy time" with her, which is when you lay her on her stomach for a few minutes so she's forced to lift her head to look around. It helps babies develop their neck muscles to hold up their heads. Summer hasn't started lifting her head yet, but she braces her feet and pushes with her legs and scoots forward. Saturday, she moved from the middle to the end of the couch like that. It's kind of funny to watch.

Summer also started smiling as a response to people this last week, instead of only smiling as a reflex. It's SO cute!! We're still not quick enough with the camera to catch it - she'll be smiling, and then stop as soon as the camera's pointed at her. I hope she behaves better for the camera when Dad gets here this weekend.
