My Baby Zoolander

Today, you rolled from back to belly for the first time. You did it twice! You rolled towards your crawl ball and the balancing monkey ball. It was so great to see how proud of yourself you are. Then, once you were on your belly, you really got to scooting so that you could get to the toys you wanted. I am pretty impressed!

Daddy still has not seen you roll from belly to back, so when he came home, I plopped you down. You think you could throw your Daddy a bone? Nope! No rolling for him. Good thing I got part of it on camera.

Stinker!

PS - You only roll right! You are like a baby Zoolander!

I need a Xanax

Lil slept in her crib for the first time last night. It was absolutely heart breaking. I really enjoy having her next to me and being able to put my hand on her chest whenever I want. I miss her : (

I would have kept her in that cradle till college if I could, but she was reaching the weight limit and it was making me nervous. Dave said it was time. It took a bottle of wine and sleeping with the video monitor for me to comply. I wanted to sleep on the floor next to the crib, ya know, to make the transition easier. But, the Hubbs wouldn't allow it. Jerk.

She slept wonderfully and has more space, so I knew it was time. I just wasn't ready to give up on sleeping next to her yet. Ah well, until 7am when she comes in bed with me every morning!

You rolled!

Today is Daddy's birthday and as a present to him, you rolled from you belly to your back. You did it first on you gym mat, and then in the pack and play! One thing you forgot - to do it in front of him! Every time he tries to watch, you won't do it.

Wow, are you stubborn like your Momma or what?!

An Arm Full

Lil, today you grabbed a toy and shook it all by yourself. You really enjoyed the sound it made. So much so that it made you laugh.

It is hard to hear everyone tell me how big you are getting and if I have to hear "she is quite an arm full" one more time, I am going to scream. Where did my tiny baby go? However, I am so proud that you have such wonderful coordination and entertained yourself. If you HAVE to grow up, I am glad you are so cute and so smart while you do so.
