Five minutes later she began howling, and we found her like this:
She doesn't like being on her stomach.
Saturday I finally caught her new talent on video. This captures her fourth time rolling over. The actual rolling over is at about the two minute mark.
She's all over this rolling deal. In the middle of the night last night Matt and I rolled her back over onto her back half a dozen times because she managed to get on her stomach—and once she's there she goes crazy. What should we do?
Every time we're home, Matt and I battle between leaving Skylie's headband and flower off and keeping it on. (Matt always wants to take it off. "She's beautiful without it, and we already know she's a girl," he says.) During our snow day after many times of (me) putting on her headband and (him) taking it back off, I promised I'd let her go without a flower all day.
Later when he left to pick up some pizza, I tried out sticking a bow to her head. Pretty cute, if I do say so myself!
On Sunday after I'd put Skylie down for a nap, I heard what sounded like her sucking on her hand (which would have been a feat in itself as she was swaddled in her straight jacket). I peeked in to see this:
She'd scooted over to the crib bars and was sucking on one! Too funny! I'm pretty sure those bars aren't the worst things she's going to get in her mouth over the next few years.
And here's Skylie in her Christmas dress—a hand-me-down from Becca. I'm so glad it fits!
Skylie likes being part of everything we're doing, including dinner.
See that Christmas sign next to the mirror? Every time Matt holds her up to look at it she grins. She must know Christmas means getting to see her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins! Christmas makes me smile, too.I love my baby girl!
