Almost every second, Champ changes.
Yesterday she learned that she can fold in her lower lip and suck on it like a mad fiend. (She gave up pacifiers a couple weeks ago. I went from being panicked if I didn't know where at least three were located at all times to not having a clue where one even is.)
Then, today, she rolled from her tummy to her back for the first time! Absolutely momentous. When she pushed her little body from floor-facing to ceiling-facing, she didn't even cry.
Until my nanny and I made her do it three more times so I could get it on video.
(I can't figure out how to post video from my iPhone here, but here's a photo taken immediately after her successful roll. See? Calm as can be. She's the Buddha of tummy-rolls.)
And tonight she absolutely would not go to sleep until I took her arms out of her swaddle sack.
So now, for the first time, she's sleeping away, arms free at her sides.
Tomorrow she'll probably master origami.
Wow! That's amazing! Can't wait to see the rolling with my own eyes!

Pretty sure you have a genius on your hands... (with delicious, chubby little gams!)

after dr. spock, there was dr. t. berry brazelton...he had a show on babies...and one day i watched him pick up a baby...and while the baby was watching him, he would stick his tongue out just a bit, then quickly do it again and again...the baby copied him....he did this with several babies...i did it with mine...and yes, it was confirmed...they were gifted. #babytricks
