The day started well. Mady slept all the way to the airport and back. This was her longest car trip yet, and she aced it. When I got her home, she NEARLY ROLLED OVER! I think this is the closest she has ever come! Maybe we'll get a full roll before Mommy returns. She started on her back. Her hips made it all the way around and her shoulders got half way, then she ran out of gas. I tried coaxing her as best I could, but I didn't touch her. I call this a 75% roll. Take a look at the picture and tell me your thoughts.
Since it is such a beautiful day, we also took a walk in the Arb. She was doing great until we got to the river (ie furthest point of our walk AND at the bottom of a very big hill) and she started crying. I dipped her feet in the water because I thought she would like that, but I don't even think she noticed... maybe it added to her frustration. I quickly hiked back up with my cranky child in tow. I tried to sing to her, which was really difficult because she is getting heavy, and it was a warm morning, and I was carrying her uphill. We made it home and she is doing much better now.
Well, that was our first morning alone together. I'll keep you posted.
Both Dad and I say it is 3/4 roll. My advise is to have both feet and legs on the hard floor and she may be able to grip with her toes and make it over without realizing what she is doing. You go Maddy. rah, rah, rah!
