Did my daughter know that I had posted an unflattering picture of her last night? Perhaps she sensed my worry at having voiced my concern online? BECAUSE GIRLFRIEND FINALLY ROLLED TODAY! And not just once but twice. During different tummy times. So I know it wasn’t just a fluke. She still doesn’t like it. Both […]
Tummy Time Fail [Faceplant]
I know that I said I would not worry about my daughter meeting her milestones on time, but I cannot help but be a teensy bit concerned that she is nearing six months of age and has not rolled over once. She actually quite enjoys the first 5-10 minutes of each tummy time. She looks […]
