2.5 Months

Avery rolled over again the other day. We think what happens is that she sees something that interests her, gets quite excited, and then the momentum just flips her over. She really hates being stranded on her tummy after a rollover. Fortunately Mommy or Daddy is always there to right her.

We now play a game where we lay next to each other on the floor. I put my legs in the air and then roll to one side. Then, I face her and encourage her to do the same, essentially rolling from her back to her side in my direction. I'd say she's about 25% at doing the same motions and rolling to her side. It's pretty awesome to watch her figure things out.

She's also starting to grab things now and making contact with them. The first time the other day when I had her on my lap and was at my desk. She managed to grab the cord to the camera. Thankfully for the camera, I caught it before it went tumbling off the desk. Today she was grabbing onto toys, which is a first.

We're also making a bit of progress with the car riding. I don't think she gets car sick because it doesn't happen every time we're in the car. My theory now is that she has to be really tired to be able to fall asleep in the car and if she's overtired, then she simply cannot fall asleep in the car, so she cries. Today I ran over to the grocery store and did it right after she woke up from a nap and had a bottle. She was happy the whole way there and most of the way back. Yeah for progress.

Her room is coming along a bit. Very slowly. It's hard to do stuff in there when she's napping and then when she's not napping, we tend to be playing downstairs. We'll get there ... eventually.
