Nudie Patootie

Big, or medium, milestone here this week. Two mornings ago she rolled from her stomach to her back. I was so happy when she did this she must've thought she won the lottery the way I was smiling and clapping. You see, all the books said she was supposed to be able to this little stunt by now and I had never seen her do it. Being the neurotic, yet loving, mother that I am, I was getting a little nervous. But, she did it. And now I'm nappy, and I need to watch her even more closely. Here she is this morning in all her fleshy glory.

Busy Baby

We started this Baby Boogie Music Class on Mondays at the JCC. Selby has taken to all the instruements.. that is she takes them and puts them in her mouth. On Fridays we do Book Babies at the libary. And starting in June we're taking a parent/tot swim class at the Cherry Creek Athletic Club. I'm thinking... this kid isn't even 6 months old yet and I already have her booked up. What's it going to be like when she's one. Or 15? Here's some recent photos. Finally, I captured a smile.

She sleeps alone

Big milestone this week. Selby is now sleeping in her room in her crib. Everyone had told us that it's important to have her sleeping in her room before 6 months. So, two nights ago we laid her down in her crib and snuck back into our room across the hall. I immediately missed her. Why can't we have her sleeping in our room? Suddenly it didnt' make any sense. But, we figured in the long run it's probably better that we get started now, although I'm still not sure why.

Also, she went to the doctor last week for her 4th month checkup/shots. Here are some old and new stats:

2 Month Check up 1/16

Weight: 11 lbs 5.2 oz 76 %
Height: 22 1/2 incues 69 %

4 Month Check up 3/30

Weight: 14 lbs 2.6 oz 58 %
Height: 24 1/2 inches 55 %

I told the doc that I found it hard to believe there were about 50% of the 4 month olds out there were chubbier than our own little chunky monkey.
