by the way

my baby b started rolling over yesterday!  i said just the day before "she'll be doing it any day now" and then 24 hours later, she did it! 

i actually missed the first one.  i had her playing on the floor on her little mat while i was on the couch painting my nails.  can you believe i squeezed that in?  she had been playing on her back with some rattles and other toys and when i looked up a minute later, she was on her tummy. 

i thought this happened a couple of weeks ago, but after a few hours of b not being able to roll over again, i realized big sister helped her do it the first time.  but yesterday's performance was solo for b!  i was so proud of her and have loved watching her do it over and over again since.

husband was playing on the floor with her last night and was putting the palm of his hand against her feet.  she pushed off his hand over and over, just inching herself further away from where she started.  watching her wiggle around like that had me realizing just how quickly we've gone already from having a newborn who sleeps 23 hours a day to what will only be, all too soon, a scooter and a cruiser.  and i will ask then, just like i'm going to ask now, where is my little brand new baby?  she is growing up.  and i feel, like every other mom out there, that it's going by much too quickly this time around.
