Ava Grace got this cool surfboard tummy time mat as a gift from Coach and Mrs. Lynch. Coach Lynch was my high school tennis coach and Mrs. Lynch was one of our school counselors. They are the proud grandparents of 8 grandchildren with 1 more on the way!! So, they definitely know what types of gifts to give a brand new baby. Ava Grace is doing really well with holding her head up. She gets frustrated with the tummy mat sometimes because she can't pull herself up as easily as when she is sitting on our laps and looking around (there isn't much work there other than using her neck muscles). The mat requires the use of her shoulder muscles which makes it a little harder. She is getting it though and definitely enjoys the toys attached to the mat. Ava Grace smiles and laughs when we encourage her to lift her head (which distracts her somewhat from being frustrated). Here is a picture I took this week of her trying her best to lift her pretty little head!
