She's a sweetie and we are having so much fun with her!
At her two month apt. Annalese was referred to a physical therapist because she has torticollis. I had noticed ever since she was about 2 weeks old that she would only look to her right. I got a little worried when she started to develop a flat spot on the back of her head on her right and mentioned it to the Dr.
We have now been doing physical therapy for a little over a month. The therapist was so happy that we caught it so early because it is easier to change her habits now. She is making great strides. The PT comes to our home every two weeks and assesses her and gives us other exercises to try. One of the first ones she said was tummy time. Ugh! I haven't done tummy time with any of my kids, they hate it! We were determined though and as we slowly increased the time and used the boppy she has grown to like it. We also do stretches and roller coaster leans and rolling practice. All to help strengthen and stretch out her neck. She now flips onto her tummy as soon as we put her on her back. I think with all the practice she has learned to do so earlier than any of the other kids.
Here she is actually enjoying her tummy time!

OHMIGOSH she is growing too fast! She is really starting to look like her own little person. Glad to know the neck is doing better. We have been remembering her in our prayers and keeping her name on the prayer roll each week when we go to work at the temple on Thursday nights. Love you all...
She's so cute! Glad you caught the torticollis early, too. Is your PT through early intervention? Andrew's was--our PT was Jean, I think. Anyway, good luck! Glad she's enjoying tummy time!
