i finally did it. well, i had done it a couple of times several weeks ago, but i don't really think those count. this time i meant it. i rolled over. after about 22 minutes on my stomach, i rolled over to my back and then smiled really big. and kept smiling because it felt kinda good. my world goes one of two ways...face down during belly time or face up when i am on my back or being held by mom, dad and their friends. it was pretty neat to watch the world go from back to front in one fell swoop.
however, it gets better. last night when aunt kate b. was over, i rolled from my back to my stomach. that was pretty cool. i had been rolling from my back to my side for some time now, but to go all the way was a totally new experience.
[enter mom] yes, the last 48 hours have been pretty exciting with the lil' bird (i call her that from time to time). just in the last week, we have noticed some new strength. mike has been in DC on business (he is a big time dealmaker now), so Olivia and I have spent time hanging with friends and working on the rollover. oh, and watching 80s movies. we watched some kind of wonderful last night. man, the 80s were an intense time in the movie world. i love it!
she really misses dad. the first night is always a little tough because she realizes that he is not going to be coming home. this means she is quite needy. i have to hold her for most of the evening until she goes down for bed. i don't mind if i don't have things to do. cooking dinner with one hand has become my latest mom skill. i had no idea what i could make with only one hand....mac and cheese, soups, etc...
