Rolling Over Machine!

Kaylen rolled over for the first time on Sep 20 and I missed it! I put her down on her play mat, seriously went 7 steps to get a banana, came back and she had rolled over! I attached a picture of what I saw! I could've died! I tried to get her to do it again, but she wouldn't... not then, but the next time we saw her do it was at her 4 month Dr. appt in front of Gregg, myself and the Dr! She was definitely trying to impress the Dr! It was adorable! We all just sat there and watched her roll right into the wall! It was SO CUTE! She only likes to roll to her left and once there, it doesn't take long for her to get mad. She doesn't quite get the cause and effect thing... she likes to roll over, but doesn't realize it's her fault she's on her tummy! She's flipping adorable! Now, she's a rolling over machine! She loves to roll from her back to her tummy. Now we have to work on tummy to back!

So, I have to start somewhere! It's been FOREVER since I posted! Work has been crazy, life has been crazy, and not much time to get on the computer! I thought I would start here for once. For once I tried to put her down for a little nap before bed and thought I would try the pack-and-play. So far so good! Normally, I just want to cuddle her, but I thought I would try it this time so I could get a few things done!

I've been back to work for over a month now. When I got back to work, I was given two new jobs because another person got a promotion. Would be a good thing if I got paid more for doing those two new jobs on top of mine, but nope! So, now I feel like I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off every day. I keep hoping there will be a slow day, but nope, not yet! It's definitely been a transition. It got easier bringing Kaylen to daycare, but it's still hard. I wish I didn't have to, but it is what it is. They are very good to her and take very good care of her. It's nice to not have to worry about the care she's getting.
Gregg's been working his new job. He works Sundays now, which stinks to give up half our weekends, but he's home more nights during the week. He really enjoys it. He has a lot more patient involvement and has been doing such a great job! He's been really busy just getting ready for when he'll apply to med schools. He's shadowing doctors and has to do a ton of hours for an internship that will start this week. He's a busy guy and we hate every minute that he's not home, but we are VERY proud of him. He works so hard and is doing SUCH a great job!
Kaylen has been LOVING bath time... as long as I don't wait until too late at night to do it! She loves to splash around in her little tub. She didn't like the little hammock it came with because she loves being submerged in the water, but as soon as she was big enough, we took it out and the tub was a hit! Every new thing is fun with her! She is a rather serious little monkey, but she's been smiling more and more lately! She had her first GREAT giggle Oct 3, the day before her 4 month birthday!

Jenica, you and Gregg are wonderful parents! I finally read your blog and learned how your birth went and the transition back to work. You have an adorable little girl! Im glad she had her first giggle...they will happen more and more and its the best sound in the world! Lil Linnea is going to town lately with her laughs! Its the best! And as for rolling...I swear they do it in stages. Linnea did it for like a month and now next to never does it. She is obsessed with assisted standing and walking...not crawling or scooting, just an assisted standing/walking almost 10 month old is what we have! Keep up the good work! you are an amazing mama!
