As the Worm Turns

Our trip was full of lots of milestones... not the least of which was Virginia beginning to roll over! On her 3 month birthday (our last day in CT), she amazed all the Macks by rolling from her back to her tummy. She waited until she had a big audience to do it - our girl is quite the showman! As we predicted, Virginia is proving to be a unique baby who wants to do things her way. Most babies roll from tummy to back first, but Virginia did it out of order.

Virginia wanted to make sure that the Alabama crew witnessed their fair share of milestones too - so she rolled from her tummy to her back a week later while my mom was babysitting her one afternoon. She hasn't duplicated the feat since, so we think this was an accident. Then on our last day in Alabama, she began rolling from her back to her tummy in the other direction (to the left). So, I have a baby who can roll from her back to her tummy in either direction, but then can't get off her tummy... which is a little frustrating for her. In any event, we are so proud of Virginia. We just have to watch her like a hawk on the changing table now!
