Milestones

It was a big day in our house today.

Lyla decided it was time to start rolling from back to front, and went quickly from never having given it a try to actually succeeding! She rolled from front to back at 5 weeks, and then did it for a few weeks and got tired of it. She rolled front to back again for the first time in a long time yesterday, and today went the other way. Where is time going???

She also went to sleep, right at 8 PM, by HERSELF! I fed her, changed a dirty diaper, then put her to bed in her crib with her paci (which is just starting to like). She was fine for a few minutes then started crying, so I went back in and put my hand on her chest for a couple of minutes, reinserted the paci, and voila -- I haven't heard from her since! And this was the second time today she did this...she also put herself to sleep at naptime. Do I dare get my hopes up??

Maddie had her own milestone of sorts -- she got her first bike! She was thrilled when we brought home her new Arial/Little Mermaid bike, pretty purple and turquoise with lovely beads and streamers hanging from the handlebars. She put her helmet right on, climbed up, and off she went. Gosh did she look like a big girl!

And as for Sienna...well, she put on her first pair of high heels today. Does that count? They may have been play heels, but it was the first time I've ever seen her putting them on and trying to walk around in them. Visions of teenage girls danced through my head... yikes, I'm SO scared even thinking about those years, LOL!
