roller baby

So I FINALLY! caught Maddy rolling over on video. Almost missed it though! Here is me begging her to roll over for almost 2 minutes until she throws up at the end. Ignore the stupid cat in the background and the dog that walks in front the camera...I swear, I'm never alone....but even though she doesn't actually roll over in this one she gives some cute faces and babbles and such. Its just cute, ok?

And here she is FINALLY actually doing it! When I saw she was "in position" I had to use my ninja mommy skills with the camera and caught it! YEAH! Also I kind of let out an ear piercing squeal when she does it so you may want to turn your volume down...haha.

So tonight I decided I'm going to start easing her into falling asleep on her own. I fed her the last bottle of night, we read some books, and then I rocked her for a few minutes. Normally I rock her until she is unconscious and I KNOW she isn't going to wake up when I put her down. But I could tell she was sleepy but not asleep so I layed her in her crib and left with the door open just a little bit. She grunted and made noise for about 15 minutes but never cried. Then...silence! I went into her room to check on her and she was sleeping peacefully with her thumb in her mouth. Good girl!! I hope she can keep this up!!!!

Also I wanted to add all the new foods she has been trying! So far Madelyn likes veggies: (in order of preference) carrots, sweet potatoes, green beans, and squash; and fruits: (also in order of preference) bananas and pears. She has tried but does NOT like peas or peaches. She gets a small container of fruit with lunch and a big container of veggies with dinner. Sometimes at night if she is still hungry after her last bottle she has a little bit more fruit. She loves her food and is doing so well with eating from a spoon! Now if I can just get it to where she (or I) doesn't need to be hosed off after a feeding.....

Well I am headed off to bed, Maddy has been waking up early for some reason every morning which means I need to get to bed earlier at night. Its supposed to be cooooooooold tonight and possibly snow. We'll see! Going check the temp in Maddy's room and then bundle up in bed with my puppy!
