Week 21: First day of school

5 months old and Mummy already making you go to school!

I took you to your first baby class (gymbaroo) yesterday. There were 7 other babies in the class ranging from 3 months old to 6 months (non-crawler class). The teacher led us in songs, exercises, we even did some dancing! The 2nd half of the class was using the play gym where there were lots of fun baby equipment to help you do more exercises.

Excited for first day of baby class!

The very first exercise in the class involved doing tummy time, which is not your favourite thing. All the other babies did tummy time with their heads lifted up. You were the only baby with your head lying down on the mat the entire time. So funny! I told the teacher you hated tummy time, so she gave me lots of tips to help you do more tummy time, which we have been doing today.

The class was only 45 minutes but it was still quite tiring for you because you fell asleep in the car-ride home and then took a really long nap when we got home. You only woke up to feed and then fell asleep again. Too much excitement in one day for you!

Asleep in the car

So, Mummy and Daddy have been giving you more tummy time in different positions today to keep you interested.

Here you are in the morning doing tummy time on Mummy:

And Daddy holding you in the tummy time position, which you seem to like.

Today, we went househunting and then had lunch at a Japanese restaurant.

Here is Daddy playing with you. You were tired and ready for bed time, so you weren't your usual laughing self.
