On a Roll... with Butter!

For the past month or two, Peanut has been unsuccessfully attempting to roll over. There were times we were sure she would do it, but then she'd put her head down on the blanket and give up. A couple of times, the attempt wore her out so intensely, she would fall asleep right there on her tummy!

Friday afternoon (Oct. 8), however, she gave me a nice surprise, and I almost missed it! As I was preparing lunch in the kitchen, I poked my head around the corner to check on Peanut. I saw her supporting herself on her arms all the way up with one foot high in the air, I cheered her on, saying 'you almost have it!' but thinking she wouldn't actually do it. Then with a plop! she was on her back!

Of course I immediately started screeching with excitement, and she began giggling at my reaction. It's so wonderful to be able to see her firsts, however little they may be!
