Some new things

Lilly has accomplished much in her 3 months! Last Sunday, while we were at Aunt Bitsy's watching the Saints game, she held her bottle on her own. She has since repeated this feat, and will hold it for a bit and then get tired or bored (or perhaps something else) and then put it down. But then she gets mad that her bottle is taken away! But it's all her doing! So she's got to learn some control and how to keep her bottle at her mouth. She's definitely found her thumb, and while she's an equal opportunity thumb sucker, we think she is beginning to favor her right one. Regina has mentioned that she's a hard sucker - she's replaced her Maggie Simpson pacifier sounds with Maggie Simpson type thumb sucking.

She's also sat in her red Bebo pod chair. She supported her head and sat up. But it was a lot of work for her so she was only in it for a bit before she started to whine and we took her out. But it's a cool chair and I hope she likes it! And Monday morning she rolled over, from her back to her stomach. She was so nonchalant about it, she was just on her back, got her weight behind her and did. It was right after Mark went to the office. And ever since I've been trying to capture it on video. I spent 18 minutes last night, with her teasing me, she would get some weight, roll, but not make it fully over. The flip camera had no battery left, so I was worried that once I stopped filming, she would roll over. So I kept the camera on her, full 18 minutes worth. And she finally did it - at the end. But I posted the video to Vimeo ten hours ago and it's still converting - it's a large file. So once its on the site, I'll post the link. Aunt Sarah saw her do it today (or was it yesterday, I can't remember, the days seem to run together) and Regina said she rolled over a couple of times yesterday. Here's hoping that Mark will see her do it tonight!
