Jaci has rolled over!



Today I decided to start being more faithful in the relentless pursuit of building tummy muscles. Not my muscles, but the inevitable tummy time for Jaci. I have not done a good job of allowing her time for her tummy - she hates it!

This morning I put her on her tummy in the floor while I was cleaning her room. She was trying so hard to roll over but that stinking limb (AKA the arm) just wouldn't allow it. So I put the arm back under her chest and stepped away. She flipped over so fast she bumped her noggin on the floor. Her eyes got extremely big and she just looked at me - making a statement with those big blue eyes, "What just happened?" I wasn't sure if she was going to cry or laugh. She started smiling as if to say "I'm so proud of myself!" We laughed and played for a while and then I flipped her over again. I stood up and walked about 3 feet when I glanced back to see her flip over the other way! She thought it was so funny! Just when I commit to tummy time...she discovers how to avoid it all together! We've always known she's a smart one. :)
