Finally!

Okay, I haven't blogged much lately.  I don't have a lot of excuses except for the board studying (well, till 10/10) and then we were out of town in Seattle for a long weekend.  And we take so many photos of our girl it's hard to choose which ones to include in posts!  But today I have a video to share!


I've been patiently (or sometimes not-so-patiently) waiting for Lilly to roll over.  According to my board studying, this developmental milestone should occur by 4 months (well, rolling tummy to back).  Four months came and went and no rolling over.  Then five months came and went.  Now she's about 10 days from being SIX MONTHS OLD (no, I can't believe it!) and today she finally rolled over (on her own, that is - Greg and I have been taking turns "helping" her do it for a while now)!


Somehow I had one of those mommy-intuition feelings and actually caught it on video!!  We were in our study where I was attempting to do some organizing, since I've just been piling all sorts of medical journals, mail, insurance paperwork, books, etc. (you name it, it's probably in a pile on the floor under my desk) for the last two years since I moved in.  It's a mess.  Now that I am not studying for boards, I thought I'd better devote some time to that.  :-)  The reason why I'm explaining all of this is that the video includes boxes (sorting mail/journals/junk) and our terrible carpet.  Part of the reason I'm cleaning out this room is that I reallyreallyreally want hardwood floors in here, but know we need to actually be able to see most of the floor before we do this :-)  So... please ignore the boxes/stained carpet, and just focus on my adorable girl!!!  And yes, she does have her DocBand on, because she wears it 23 hours a day (hopefully only for 3 more weeks).  And yes, she does have spit-up on her chin because being on her tummy makes her spit up.  A lot.  Which is part of the reason we don't do it very much :-)




She has yet to duplicate this event, because she still gets stuck on her outstretched arm.  I think she was just as surprised as I was that she actually rolled over :-)  I'm hoping she'll do it again for Daddy when he gets home.  But at least I caught it on video!!!


Oops, I hear her waking up from her evening nap.  :-)
