Ally Rolls Over – Part 2
// November 19th, 2005 // No Comments » // Milestones
I was right in guessing that Ally’s next big accomplishment would be putting her feet in her mouth, which she has been doing rather successfully for the past few days now.
But today marked the achievement of yet another milestone for our little girl – she rolled over from her back to her tummy for the first time! She did it once while in her crib playing and then two more times while laying on her play gym mat.
She has been squirming all over the place for a while now, getting better and better every day at rolling from her back to her side, so I knew it wouldn’t be long before she managed to roll the whole way over.
It was so exciting – that’s one of the things I love about being a Mom – the joy I feel with each of her accomplishments. We take for granted all the movements we make each day, which seem so simple to us, but are so significant in a baby’s world.
You always hear parents saying enjoy this time, it goes so fast. I always thought I understood, but until you are watching your own child grow, it’s hard to understand how truly fast time does go and how right they are. So before I turn in this evening, I am going to kiss my daughter, breathe her in deep and stare at her with pure joy and amazement – taking in every detail, so that years from now I can recall with clarity the memory of the day my daughter first rolled over.
