Ever since she learned how to roll onto her tummy, we haven't been able to keep her on her back! She flips over on her tummy so stinkin' quick! But, she hasn't been able to figure out how to get back onto her back...until now! I think the "thought process" started a couple weeks ago. We had to be super careful when we were holding her because she would randomly just throw her head back (and assume we were going to catch her momentum). That was the first step. Then, she would be in her exersaucer, and she would do the same thing. She would throw her head back over and over and rub the back of her head on the chair. Fortunately, we caught her and the exersaucer didn't allow her to flail back too far. So, we watched her do that for a little while. Then, all of a sudden, she figured out that if she does that same sort of thing when she's laying on her tummy, her head and momentum will flip her onto her back! That must have been a revelation for Siena - she does it all the time now! It's really funny to watch - and she hits the floor hard with her head! But it doesn't seem to faze her...she just keeps on rollin'! Matt and I now play "catch" with her by having her roll back and forth between us. She really gets going after the first couple rolls! And if you don't stop her, she'll roll right into the couch, table...or as you'll see in the pictures, the CD player. :)
I'm going to attempt to show her rolling through pictures. It's hard to capture when you take still photos, but I think you'll get the idea. She's sure growing up fast!!!
Other Siena updates...she is making lots of new sounds! Unfortunately, I can't take a picture of that, but she is saying "Da, da, da..." and "La, la, la..." and "Ba, ba, ba..." and she has come back to her initial sound, the "Bbbbbb" (blowing raspberries with spit all over the place!) sound. It's so fun to hear her! She is laughing and smiling all the time. She grabs my face and tries to eat my eyes and nose and mouth. (I'll continue to believe that she is giving me kisses!) She recognizes her name and turns to Matt and I when we say it. She totally recognizes Daddy when he comes home from work. She is sitting up fairly well with help. She reaches for toys and plays with them in her hands and mouth. She has recently found her "piggy toes" and likes to play with them. She loves the bath - and her new bath toys. Lots of accomplishments this little one is making!! She's an absolute joy and brings a smile to my face every day (about 100 times each day!). I'm sure the updates will have to be updated soon, as she is learning new things all the time!
On a complete side note, Matt loves bedtime. It's "JAMMIES!!" time. Siena is always so playful and happy with Daddy when he puts her jammies on. Who says bedtime can't be fun? Here's a little proof........
"Get 'em, girl!"
