Big Girl!!!

Today my mom and I worked with Emory on rolling over. We got out our new Tummy Play Bobby mat and worked with her on it. We started out with the Bobby pillow on the mat and Emory just didn't know what to think about that. She tried to raise her head but she just was more excited about licking the pillow than anything else. Then we took the pillow off of the mat and just let her lay there for a while and then my mom (Nana) started working with her about rolling over, well about the the 5th or 6th time she rolled over on her own!!! I couldn't believe it. I was so excited. She finally figured out on her own, after coaxing her to do it, she finally rolled over. She, here lately, really has started picking her head up off of my shoulder when she normally lays it to one side. Everytime now when I pick her up and lay her head on my shoulder she just picks it up and wants it straight up or laying on the other side. I just can't believe how fast she is starting to pick these things up. And I am amazed at how fast she is growing up. We have had fun with Nana these last couple of days. Tuesday we went to the ultrasound and the today we made our first visit to Wal-Mart, playing fashion show, and learning how to roll over!!! Thanks, Nana, for the fun times this week.


For some reason, today, Emory just absolutely hated her glasses. I think at one point in time today I heard her say "I hate these things!!" She would either push them up on top of her head or she would pull them down around her mouth. Once she got them down around her mouth, she would then proceed to start licking them. Needless to say they got very gunkey today. She normally doesn't seem to mind them, an occasional push or pull at them, but for the most part it is us, the family, that has a harder time of getting them to stay on, but she got a wild hair about them glasses today and she did not want any part of them. Nana got some really good pictures of her licking them and this is one of my favorites of her. She also likes to lick her hand just right below the thumb. I think if she could figure out how to suck the thumb she would be all for it.

I love the picture of her licking her glasses. That is hysterical! Braedon chews his thumb. Just sticks it in his mouth in the appropriate "sucking" position and just kind of gnaws on it.

It's great that she is starting to roll over on her own!!!!! I also like the picture of her licking the glasses. I'm sure that she was unable to see out of them and that she was just trying to get them clean so that she could see out of them!!!!
