Rolling Baby!

We have a rolling baby!
REPEAT: We have a rolling baby!


Tory Girl is not a fan of being on her tummy. She screams and hollers and smothers her face into the ground, never understanding why in the world Mommy would make her do such a terrible thing. Until Monday that is, when she realized she could lift her head up 45 degrees and see around the room. A change of perspective! Suddenly being on her tummy wasn't so bad after all. We practiced tummy time several times on Monday. I asked the nanny to practice with her on Tuesday and Wednesday and voila! On Wednesday night (not without a little prodding from my hand) she finally figured it out!


I'm so, so proud of my little girl and simply cannot believe she's old enough to be rolling over!

Because she isn't close to rolling over from back to tummy yet, I swaddled her for bed and watched her on the monitor to make sure she wouldn't use her new found skill to flip. While she didn't roll over in bed, she did have a very restless night of sleep (up every 2 hours) so I finally unswaddled her around 3AM. She slept just fine from 3AM - 6AM so I think swaddling will soon be a way of the past in our nighttime routine.

What a big girl!
