Roly Poly

First of all I debated for quite some time whether it was "Roly Poly" or "Rolie Polie."  One of those things you say but never have to spell, ya know?

Anyway... SHE ROLLS.  We have lateral movement, my friends.  Funny thing is, I put her on her tummy this morning for a bit of tummy time, and I grabbed my camera to get a few pictures.  And this little bundle wouldn't stay still, but I kept snapping away in hopes of getting one or two good ones.  And I was so busy snapping away, and all of a sudden she was on her side, and then BAM, on her back.  Wait. a. second. Did she just do that?  So I popped her back on her tummy, and sure enough, not 2 seconds later, she's on her back.

"Mama don't miss this!"

Ta-da!

Now the annoying thing is, I had the video camera handy, and I caught it on video TWICE, and both times the video camera froze and I had to pull the battery out, thus erasing my video.  Now, I know rolling over is not all that exciting, but it's the principle of it!  I captured her first (okay, 3rd and 4th) rolls on camera, only to have them be erased! And then, when I tried to get it again, she had had enough and wouldn't do it again!  I almost threw that stupid Sony version of the flip camera across the room!  Riley told me she wants a flip video camera for Christmas so she can watch videos of her little baby self when she's older.

In other big news, baby bug has discovered her thumb.  It was pretty amazing to watch her discover it as well.  She's been sucking on her hands for a few weeks now, and occasionally she got her thumb in there, but mostly by accident.  But today, she sucked her thumb multiple times, and once sucked it for about 10 minutes.  And she wanted nothing to do with her pacifier... but she was actually able to calm herself down and fall asleep by sucking on her hands and thumb this afternoon, which is a first.  And she looks pretty cute, no?

A big day for the little one!!
