Rolly Polly Olly!

Dimples like her mama.

Lucy was doing some tummy time at the Patterson's house yesterday (to work out some gas). Before i knew it she was up on her hands for the first time and trying her heart out to get off of her belly and to her back. Kate even said, "that girl is about to roll over." After a brief break from tummy time for mommy snuggles, I placed her back on her belly and bam! She rolled right over onto her back. I could hardly believe something so simple could melt my heart and bring tears to my eyes! She rolled over two more times this morning and I even caught it on video! What a woman.

Lucy has really started grabbing to things in the past week, mostly her favorite things, which include my shirt, my hair and, you guessed it, my breasts. (We are keeping her fingernails short!) I have been offering her things to hold, though she isn’t very interested yet. Hanging toys from her swing, bouncy chair and play mat have delighted her though, and if I can get her to want to hold a toy it might make adventures in the car go more smoothly.

I broke down and bought her a huge, space wasting plastic bathtub. The minimalist approach of a sponge in the sink was not making bath time enjoyable for either of us. This one cost $16 on Amazon and has a mesh seat with a similar shape to her bouncy chair that she loves. The plastic behemoth is an eye sore, but she is much more relaxed and I feel much more confident. Win, win.
