This is How We Roll

by

After less than two months, Baby Daring, aka Wanda, aka Baby Dolly, aka Baby Lolla, aka Princess Lolla Dolla, has effectively killed off any future attempts at tummy torture time.

Around our house, this is how we roll.

She doesn’t need to be coaxed by a crazy lady with a squeaky high pitched voice but I think she likes to be and I’m happy to provide that service.

I’m not sure why I’m giddy about my almost 2-month-old being able to roll over every time I put her down. My other kids didn’t do it until 3 months of age and with Magoo, I dreaded those milestones because they meant he would get into stuff sooner. For some reason, watching her do this tickles me to no end, except for the part where she smooshes her face into the mirror and cries. That is obviously totally un-fun and also un-funny. The rest is gold.

When she was in utero and she made my abdomen feel like a rubber bag full of ninjas, I sort of had a feeling she’d be a mover and a shaker. I was right. I wonder how long until she’ll be able to fix her own breakfast and get dressed on her own. The other kids can. She just needs to show a little initiative.

    I love how hard she is already trying to keep up with her peeps. She is gorgeous and so squinchable. Go Wanda!

    And here I was all worried that she was a late-bloomer! Too cute, and so glad she’s already keeping up with Magoo and Laylee.

    I’m sure she’ll be running errands for you and bringing you breakfast in bed, made from scratch before Christmas. Just be a bit more patient! 😀

    My in-utero roller/kicker continued the high level of activity and now at 4 1/2 his nickname is Mr. Hippity-Hop-Skippity-Do, since that’s how he travels. She’ll be catching up to her bigs in no time! Thanks for sharing the video.
