The Daughter of a P.E. Teacher.

You have no idea how many hours of footage I have taken just trying to capture my sweet little girl's new trick. Are you ready for this?


Our GIRLIE, our three month old babe, is ROLLING OVER!!!!! 

I know, right?!

She has been trying her darnedest for a good few weeks - twisting, grunting, and crying out from her playmat - doing everything she can to turn from her back to her tummy.  People thought we were lying when we told them this, saying she's too young to rollover quite yet and not to expect it until around six months.  And even then, it's more likely she'd roll from her tummy to her back first. 

Well, Nory is proof that "every baby is different"!!!  On Wednesday night, just like I thought she would, she rolled over for the very first time when I was out tutoring.  Phil called me excitedly and I was struck with a bout of proud Mama tears and some high-pitched shrieks.  I rushed through the rest of my tutoring session with the hope of getting home in time to catch some of the excitement live.  Unfortunately she was sound asleep when I walked through the door and I had to settle for a video taken by Phil.  Even more unfortunately, I spent the next 48 hours doing absolutely everything to encourage her to repeat it and she seemed to perform for Kumari and Phillip ONLY! 

Until this afternoon.........

......................when I FINALLY saw my little Beauty roll from her back to her tummy!!!!  And then, as if to show off even further, she rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time!!!!  Neither were caught on video and all that remains on my iPhone are about ten dozen videos of her doing absolutely nothing.  Ha!  I'm convinced that Eleanor's a business lady in the making.  Her performances seem to come at a lofty price that nobody can figure out and only her Daddy is excused from.  Once I can figure out how to post his video (taken with the actual camera and seemingly un-cropable and un-uploadable at the moment), I shall share it with you!!! 

Oh my goodness.  She'll be off to college before we know it!
