I can't believe it, our little one rolled over yesterday. This last month (b/w 3-4 mos old) has been filled with lots of excitement. She seems to have changed from a little infant into a baby. In a way it feels like she just arrived yesterday - its only been 3 1/2 short months since we welcomed her to the family and yet I can't imagine life without her. For the first month or so she wasn't awake more than a few minutes to eat, get a change, and go back to sleep. Not enough time for me to really soak in all of her features. I remember looking at her feet last month and thinking....wow, what great feet! I never really looked at them during those early weeks. Times have changed! Not only is she awake for longer, but when she is awake its wonderfully interactive. She smiles and babbles at us and loves to have "conversations". She laughs at the dogs when they make all that noise (that I can't stand!). And she loves to examine my fingers - it could keep her busy for awhile just grasping each finger, one at a time, and really looking at it. In fact, I now realize why people buy all those infant playcenters and exersaucers and bouncies - she really only likes one activity for 15 mins and then needs something new!
Yesterday on her playmat she was really lifting her bottom and shifting it over her leg. SOOO close to rolling over. Of course that pesky arm kept getting in her way :) The first video is long and shows her trying...and trying...and trying to get all the way over. The second video starts as she is "stuck" up on her side and then how she figures out to move that arm and complete her rollover. Watch out world - Here comes Emily!
