Flying Baby

When I saw this baby activity I knew Juliette would love it. She loves when I lift her up high above my head like she is flying and I thought the words to this little rhyme were so cute!

To start I laid down on the bed and put Juliette on my belly with her head close to mine.

Up like a rocket, (I lifted Juliette in the air toward my face)
Down like a plane, (I brought her back to the starting position)
Back and forth like a Choo-choo train. (I raised her up again and gently moved her forward and backward)
I can fly here, (I moved her to one side)
I can fly there, ( I moved her to the other side)
I can fly anywhere. ( I moved her all over)

This activity is great because it is a lot of fun and it helps develop the muscles in the head and neck, shoulders, upper and lower back.
