We thought we would give little Sarah some tummy time on the play mat. They claim that a newborn is never to young to get started exploring and learning about the world. Besides, it says on the package 0 months and up. (You can see more pictures of this adventure on Baby – Page 4. Did somebody say baby feet?)
So, Daddy laid Sarah down on her tummy on the mat. She just laid there and probably would have suffocated if Mommy didn’t turn her over. (Bad Daddy!) I guess I forget that little bit of information after I read that chapter in Be Prepared. I should have written it on my arm, it seems important.
We tried Sarah on her back, on her side, with her head under the hanging toys, with her feet under the hanging toys, with her body away from the hanging toys. All gave us the same result as you can see by the picture.
She did not like to play on the mat, she did not like it with her Daddy, Pat. She did not like it on the mat, she did not like it with a cat.
I am not sure who is more creeped out by who at this point, the baby or the cat. Missy (The fat cat, or Pudge) has sniffed Sarah and doesn’t seem to know what to make of her just yet. And the cat wants nothing to do with Sarah when she starts crying.
Sarah on the other hand seems interested in the big fuzzy shape that is the cat. I think it is almost as if Sarah is wondering why that baby is so hairy. (Or Missy wondering why that cat is so bald.)While Sarah was enjoying herself on the play mat, Missy came over to join us and probably wanted us to take the baby off of the mat so she could lay on it.
