Riley rolls over
So, as her parents, any new thing that Riley does is of couse big news for us. I hesitated before posting about Riley learning to roll though, wondering if the rest of the world is really quite as interested in these milestones as we are… but then I realized most likley only Riley’s most ardent fans are still checking the website, in which case you’ll be interested to hear her latest accomplishments…
I may have exaggerated a little bit when I said she rolls… really she just like to turn onto her side and sometimes turns too far and ends up on her belly. which she hates. so she squirms and kicks her little legs until she rolls back to her back/side. It’s kind of funny to watch. Her method of pulling her legs up then flinging them repeatedly to one side can actually move her all the way across her playmat… needless to say gone are the days when you could safely leave her unattended on the changing table.
This picture is unrelated, but i just think it’s cute…
Just yesterday we were just randomly watching part of a discovery channel show about how babies develop the ability to do things like roll over and walk and how they have to develop their muscles enough to be strong enough to lift the weight of their own body parts and stuff.
The short bit of the show we saw was only ok but it’s a funny coincidence anyway!
how funny! Maybe i should check out the discovery channel more often…
Dear Riley Marie,
OK—now you can finally maneuver over to the coffee table, the dining table, the dishwasher, the kitties!! The world is your oyster. Things to grab and put in your mouth. Oh sweet joy!! No longer cooped up on your changing table and your infant seat. You can squirm around to new vistas. Every dust bunny in the place is yours to savor. Watch out world, here I come!! The whole floor is your personal playmat. You’ll be crawling in no time. Palo Alto and Mexico will never be the same. See you soon!! Gramma Peg
There is no accomplishment too small to blog about. I love hearing every detail.
