Consequences

As many of you know, Olivia thoroughly enjoys rolling over onto her stomach. She does this EVERY time we put her on her back. She even sleeps on her stomach, which she has been doing since we stopped swaddling her at 3 1/2 months. We always place her on her back in the crib and she immediately rolls over (even while sleeping).

For a long time, her bouncer was the one place she didn't roll over, but last week, she realized that her bouncer only made it slightly more difficult. As documented in the pictures below, you can see the result of her new realization. These were taken last week.

Since these pictures were taken, Olivia has continued to roll over in her bouncer, even after a stern admonishment. She decides to roll over; however, she will then immediately fuss. She obviously doesn't enjoy getting her head and neck cranked into this position (does it look comfortable to you). Initially, I thought I could simply watch her better and stop her before she made it into this position, but she's QUICK and I can no longer leave her alone for a minute!

This afternoon, Olivia made another poor decision while I was picking up. I turned around and there she was with her butt in the air and face in the seat of the bouncer. I decided I needed to teach her a lesson -- there are consequences to her actions.
