Daddy Boot Camp: Phase II

Jeremy commented in a previous post that he puts Owen thru nightly "Daddy Boot Camp" to strengthen his neck. Basically, it's just tummy time and sitting him on your lap and making him use his head and neck to strengthen those muscles. He's been doing relatively well at it. Last night he was on his belly on the floor and when he got pissed off enough, he rolled over onto his back. We're not sure if it was intentional or just pure accident. He rolled, nonetheless.

Jeremy said tonight he wished he had a chair that forced him to sit on his own to make him really make it work. I went down to the basement and brought up the Bumbo chair. He's too small for it still, but it served the purpose. When he gets tired his head tends to fall backwards. Since the chair wasn't high enough to support it, we put his Boppy behind to catch the bobbing of his head when needed. It's a very Redneck creation, but it did the trick. He wasn't overly thrilled about it, but he sat in his chair for awhile supporting his head. Here are some pictures...






Enough already!
