no looking back

She is a rolling machine now. She rolled about 10 times last night when she was laying by the Christmas tree. She can even reliably get her arm out from underneath now, and prop herself up. This is a great thing to watch, while we are awake.. but she isn't so good at going from her stomach to back. She has only done that once. 3 times last night we had to goto her nursery and roll over a screaming baby who was face down and VERY unhappy about it. At some point we had chnaged her crib sheet, and Bill had forgot to tuck the bumber pad back in. HUGE issue now that she can move about a lot. At 3 am I walked into two candy sticking out of the crib slats (she had on her stripedy christmas jammies). Good thing we aren't of the mind to let her "cry it out" b/c she could have really been hurt/suffocated b/c her legs were stuck! The pads are now tightly secured back into the matress!

I finally saw!

Last night I finally witnessed Ginny rolling over! We had a really productive day yesterday and took a lot of great pictures. Here is a sneak peak, coming soon to Christmas cards addressed to you! She LOVES Santa Pooh. He isn't nearly as exciting now that he isn't holding a sapphire bracelet, but he'll do. I think she likes his sparkly outfit. Also she has been sticking out her tongue lately, SO cute.

a "flurry" of updates

I don't know where the times seems to go. Ginny has been making tremendous progress growing up. On Dec 2 Ginny rolled over for the first time, from her back to stomach! All the time I spend at home, she does it with Dad on the blanket with her, while I am in the other room. She did it for a second time that night, again, after I had left the room!! Thursday she did the same thing, again with Daddy. Friday the 5th she rolled from her stomach to her back for the first time.. you guessed it.. with Daddy! YES, to answer everyone's question, I do spend time with her on the floor during the day. however, she always has her big nap (3 hours) of the day in the afternoon, so she is geared up and rested to play when Dad gets home!

On Tues Dec 9 she had her 4 month shots and check up. She was 26 inches and 13lbs12ozs. 90th percentile in height and 50th in weight. No doubt she is Bill's baby! She didn't cry much at all for the shots, I was relieved! She had met all her cognitive and physical milestones, and the Doctor was really pleased with her overall health and behavior. Sassy lost sight of me for a second during her check up and started to put up a fuss. The Dr. commented that it was really something for a 4 month old to have stranger anxiety, that multiple functions have to take place within the brain for that to occur.. which typically doesn't happen until 6 months of age.. smart patoot! Again, no denying she is Bill's!!

On Sat the 6th, a friend from church came over to take our family christmas photos. Ginny was adorable in her velvet christmas dress. she is also enjoying her 1st christmas tree, which is also the first tree bill and i have had since we were married. she loves the lights!

SNOW! Yes, here in Louisiana. Sassy got a chance to try on her Pooh Snowsuit that her Grandma in Michigan sent for her. It kept her snuggly warm when we went out to take some pictures of her first snow!
