There is SO much I think about writing here during my busy days with baby girl... but never seem to find the time to sit down and write.  Can you imagine?

Last week was a week of firsts:

1. She rolled over on her own!  I had her on her play-mat and was in the kitchen preparing dinner.  I listen to her noises and keep track of those sounds that make me peek around the corner.  Suddenly, I realized the grunting of her efforts to roll-over had ceased and it was very, very quiet.  In a small moment of panic, I threw my head around the corner to find her peacefully languishing on her belly... observing the world from this new angle!!!  Amazing.  She practices all the time now, although she still has some difficulty remembering how to get her arm out from underneath her.
2. She LOL'd for the first time!  Her first LOL (Laugh Out Loud, just in case you aren't in living in 2010) was one of the most incredible sounds I've ever heard!  It was so exquisite and beautiful, it was a giggle really and I repeated what I'd been doing to make her do it three times in a row.  Then I had to squeeze her tight to me in a "oh-my-gosh-I-love-you-so-much" kind of mummy hug.  I just melted when I heard it.  She'd been giving me big silent, toothless grins up until then when she finds something amusing and I've been waiting for sound to accompany those but it was silent up until this moment on Friday, May 7, 2010.  And I have to admit, I haven't heard it since that afternoon despite my ridiculous efforts at trying.  I know I need to give it up now and let it come when it comes, but it was just SO adorable!  I wish I had caught that moment on video, but it was just for the two of us that one.  I know there will be many more to come.

Oh my, days go by so fast and she's calling me now... gotta go!!
