My what a difference a day makes...

Well, it's official!  Georgie Girl has become a roly poly!  Just a mere 24 hours ago life was truckin' along and then something switched last night when I laid her down to sleep.  She started fussing an hour into her nighttime sleep, so I implemented the '10 minute rule' we have in our household and watched the clock to give her 10 minutes to settle back down before I went in to check on her.  Well, 6 minutes passed and I stopped hearing her.  A little while later I went in and found her asleep on her tummy!  I had seen her roll over from back-to-stomach a couple times, but never in her crib!  I proceeded to roll her onto her back (for safety reasons - 'back is best'--and also because I have yet to see her be able to roll back over on her own and she gets frustrated after a while.)

And so it began...

I woke up several times last night to hear her frustrated cries and found her on her tummy yet again.  Today, every time I tried to put her on her play mat to do a few things around the house or in her crib for a nap, within 10 minutes she had rolled herself over and was subsequently 'stuck' on her tummy.  I'm talking EVERY TIME, PEOPLE.  Suffice it to say, she didn't nap a whole lot today and I didn't get a whole lot accomplished...

It is amazing to see how fast she grows and learns!  We spent a good bit of time practicing her roll today, but she still doesn't have the tummy-to-back maneuver down... Here's hoping tonight and tomorrow fare better!

  1. That is so funny that you posted this because I am going through the same thing with Britton! He loves to roll over onto his tummy but then cannot really figure out how to roll back yet!! It is a constant process for us so I definitely know what you mean!! Hope you guys are doing well!!!
