It's tummy time!
While we were in the hospital, we gave Gabi her first "tummy time." Being firm believers in the back to sleep campaign, we make sure that Gabi always sleeps on her back. Of course, if she spends all that time on her back, she won't be able to develop her arm, leg, and neck muscles. So it's suggested that we give her some supervised "tummy time" while she's awake (so as not to suffocate) and we're watching her (so as not to let her suffocate).
At any rate, in addition to being necessary from a health standpoint, this excercise is also very adorable to watch. You might be able to tell just how cute I think this is from my expression in this picture.

Tummy Time is adorable to watch. Since I have to take care of Gabi during all her feedings, much of her Tummy Time and Play Time ends up being during Papa Time. This, in turn, has resulted in Papa's seeing Gabi roll over (from tummy to back) three times already, the first being when she was only four days old! She is definitely not supposed to be able to do that yet. We have such a strong little baby! Michael says that she doesn't mean to roll over, but she just kicks out with one leg and pushes up with the arm on that same side at the same time and finds herself flopped over like an overturned turtle. It sounds cute, so hopefully I'll be watching (and perhaps videoing) her the next time she accomplishes this amazing feat.
