Addy and I were out on the deck the other day. When I layed her down she was on her back and when I looked up a few seconds later she was on her belly. She also had the lower half of her body hanging off of the deck chair.
I know, I know. WHY did I put her on a chair that she could potentially fall off of when she was so close to the age of rolling over????? I could smack myself for this. You'd better believe that when I looked up and saw her hanging off the edge of the chair I bolted out of my seat like a bat outta hell to retrieve her! ;) But I was watching her the whole time (that's what they all say, right?) until I answered a text message. Darn technology these days. Plus, she had obviously not made any big moves like that before, so I figured she'd stay where I put her. I was clearly wrong. But all is well. Crisis averted.
Anywho.... I called Mike with the exciting news that our baby girl rolled over and he wanted all of the specifics. And then....he fought me on whether or not it counted as a roll!!
He said: "Explain how she rolled over."
She said: "Well, she was on her back and then the next thing I know she's on her stomach with her little legs hanging off the edge of the chair."
He said: "Doesn't count. She obviously rolled onto her side, then her legs fell off the edge of the chair, which propelled her onto her stomach."
She said: "Don't take this away from her! She rolled over. All I know is that she started on her back and ended on her stomach with no intervention from me."
He said: "Doesn't count."
What do you say?????
I say she did it:) She's so grunty! But definitely holding her head up a lot more now:) Can't wait to see her on Sunday!!!
