After Madeline got tired of her play mat the other night, she decided lounging on her Daddy Mat was much more comfy...
She loves sitting in our laps like this. Now that she mimics faces you make at her, it's even more fun because we can easily get her to smile and giggle. I even get her to stick out her tongue at me sometimes. Unfortunately, she did not cooperate when I was trying to get a picture of her adorable smiles...
However, her daddy likes to make her work a little bit and not just lay around. Here she is sitting up, with a little bit of assistance, but she's getting more and more stable, and she can control her head without wobbling it around now...
She loves sitting up and looking around, but she goes into full concentration mode trying to take in everything going on around her, so we don't get many smiles from her when she's sitting up...
After a little bit of sitting up and looking around, she decided that she'd had enough of that and went back to the daddy lounger...
At that point, Mat decided it was time for his "workout". Here he is doing crunches...
Followed by the Maddie-press...
Her facial expression was saying "Daddy, what on earth are you doing!" It was priceless. Three sets of 15 later, here they are relaxing...
Daddy isn't the only one who uses Madeline as a weight either. My mom takes her to her exercise class several days a week. On the days Maddie doesn't take a nap in her car seat, my mom uses her as her weight :) As I tell my mom, she's guaranteed to keep getting stronger as Maddie grows!
