Current mood: accomplished
Today was an extra special day and for two reasons! One, she has finally learned to keep rolling over and over consistently! Prior to today, whenever she would roll over on her tummy she would get stuck and cry. Rarely would she roll back onto her back. However, today she decided to go rolling around and shocking Mama!
It started this morning. I would walk away from her for literally 30 seconds and when I would come back she would be in an entirely different area in the living room! She did this three times before I sat there and watched. Sure enough she was rolling. Mostly to her left side but she’s getting to where she wants to go. I noticed its usually when she wants something far away, like my snowman decoration or a towel on the floor. She will roll to it till she gets it. It’s really funny and cute. But now we have to keep an even bigger eye on her, we don't want her rolling away!!! We might start looking into a baby gate thingy to keep her enclosed! haha
The other big thing she did today was finally meeting Santa for the first time. Adrian and I have been planning on taking her to the mall to meet Santa for awhile but we just couldn't squeeze it into our busy days and with last weeks storms it was really hard to get out. Today we decided no matter what we would take her. Wouldn't you know, out of all the days it decided to storm AGAIN! well that didn't stop us, we bundled her up and off to the mall we went. There were TONS of kids everywhere and we literally stood in line for a good hour before it was our turn up! (She did great in line, she was asleep for most of it) So when it was almost time to see Santa we woke her up, got her all fixed up (mostly just consisting of making sure her shoes were still on her feet and her bow on straight) and off to Santa we went. I carried her to his lap and she didn't seem to mind. She was just in shock of all the noises and people around her. I don't even think she looked at Santa once, she just stared at all the people who were looking at her, with her mouth wide open. She wouldn't smile but the picture still came out cute! (of course!) Santa gave her a lollipop and I made her say hi to Santa and carried her away. Then we had to get in another line which took almost twice as long just to pick up the picture! but it was well worth it, that little picture is a priceless treasure and worth all the waiting! She did good in the mall. We picked up a few more xmas presents then off to home we went. It really started to pour so she got to experience that for the first time in a car too! She slept for most of the car ride home and now she’s in bed. She ate 6 oz!! Poor little thing was starving so I skipped her nightly bath and just fed her. Now she’s off to sleep with little sugar plums dancing in her head.
Ahhhh.... what a day!
