milestones

Avagail accomplished an amazing feat last night.  We were hanging out on Mommy & Daddy's bed, Ava was doing some tummy time.  Now understand that Avagail does not have many dislikes in her life, but tummy time is #1 - she grunts and crys and begs for anyone within ear shot to return her to her normal laying down position on her back.

Last night, as Avagail expressed her displeasure with being face-down, I encouraged her with funny songs and high-pitched "You can do it baby girl"s. She would smile momentarily at her mom, then curl her bottom lip under into the intro of a big cry, and at once I would encourage her again. This was a fun cycle.

She was showing signs that she might roll over: kicked her legs, moved her arms in just the right fashion and then suddenly ... she rolled over onto her back!  The first photo is of her looking scared directly after it happened, because honestly she freaked herself out by rolling over.

Today she did tummy time like a pro. (Photo #2)
