The Rollover!

Here's the second rollover...caught on tape! YAY! Please excuse my horrendous cinematography...defintely a skill I do not possess as you can tell by my finger blocking the view! :)

Sleeping through the night!

Hello!  I know it's been awhile...Belle and the new house have been keeping us really busy!  She's growing like crazy and doing new stuff all the time!  I actually go back to work in 9 days :(  The time with her has been SO AMAZING, I never want to leave her!  But the time off has FLOWN by.  So let's see, she's grown so much since my last entry, I'll post some more recent pics of her :)  At about 7 and a half weeks, she started sleeping through the night!  The first time she slept about 8 hours, and now she sleeps for about 10 hours a stretch at night.  It's glorious! :)  I read the book, "Becoming Babywise" and that's helped us a TON!

 

[Belle 1 month]

She's just such a happy baby, such a joy and blessing from God!  She's all smiles and loves to makes faces.  Her current likes include: her playmat with mobile overhanging, she's obsessed with the star at the top of it that lights up and plays music, she'll just stare at it and laugh, her swing, and playing with daddy!  She LOVES to eat, she's already up to 6 ounces a feeding (sometimes 8 before bed!)

Also, breaking news!  Belle rolled over for the first time today!  YAY!  From her stomach to her back.  However, it was bittersweet because I totally MISSED IT!! :(  I felt like such a bad mommy!  She rolls over for the first time and we both miss it!!  She was doing tummy time on her playmat, Brian was on the computer in the room with Belle, I leave the room for a minute to get her bottle, come back and she's on her back!  So I say to Brian, "Oh, did you put her on her back?"  Thinking she got fussy on her tummy and he rolled her over.  He said, "No."  I couldn't believe it!  I even thought in the minute or two I was in the kitchen, "what if she rolls over and you miss it?" immediately followed by, "Nah, what are the odds?"  Turns out they were pretty good!  So of course my reaction was to put her right back on her tummy and watch her intently waiting for her to repeat the feat!  So at least I could say I physically saw her do it the same day she actually did it for the first time.  Think she rolled over?  No such luck, she stayed on her tummy for about 10 minutes and then started to yell at me cause she was hungry and her bottle was getting cold!  Jeez MOM!

Haha...well the day's not quite over yet.  We have one more tummy time before bed...maybe I'll get lucky and she'll perform for me tonight and alleviate some of my guilt for missing it the first time!  Haha...jk.  I'm just so happy she's learning so much, doing so well, and she's such a happy, healthy girl!
