Milestones

Check this out!

Amelia is growing up so fast, and it seems that she is learning something every day. Here's a little of what has happened recently:

About a week ago, she rolled over from back to front (the hardest roll for babies). Once she got the hang out it, she started doing it all the time. Today Austin said that she rolled over from back to front, then from front to back, all in one motion in the same direction. It's great to see her moving around, but we can't set her on the floor anymore, leave the room for a second, and expect to see her in the same place. She will roll over or scoot herself around in a circle on her back.

On Saturday, Amelia was chomping on Austin's fingers and he said he felt a tooth. I felt for it, and then looked in her mouth, and sure enough! I could see the outline of a tooth coming through her gums. Just a few days later, it has come in even more, and it is sharp! Hopefully soon we will have some pictures of it.

Last night, we were playing with her, and I put her in a sitting position, to see if she could stay upright, and she did, for about 2 minutes, long enough for us to get some pictures. Austin warned me that he was worried she would fall over, but I really wanted more pictures, and she fell over and bonked her head on the carpet. I felt pretty bad and she cried; it probably hurt a little and it scared her. She calmed down in a few minutes with some hugs and she was fine, but I won't try that again for a while.
