Rolling!

She rolled - finally! One week shy of her 6 month birthday, and she finally pushed herself from her back to her tummy. Unfortunately, nobody saw it. Savannah and I were in the kitchen, getting her a second bowl of Cheerios (that's a whole different story - Savannah is growing like crazy, I think, and is always hungry) and we heard Leah crying from her birdie mat. Unusual, because she likes her birdie mat and doesn't cry until she has been there at least 30 minutes, normally. So we went to check on her, and there she was, on her tummy, but with her left arm still stuck underneath her.

Great rejoicing and cheering commenced, while she laid there and wailed. :)

On being married...

Conversation the night before Jeremy and Megan's wedding (Savannah and I shared a bed, and she would NOT GO TO SLEEP - "just one more question, Mama..")

S: I want to be married...

Me: Yes, when you grow up, when you're older.

S: When I get married, we will sleep together in the same bed.

Me: Mmmmhmm...

S. And we will pack TWO suitcases...

Me: Two!

S. Yes. and we will get on an airplane...and then the lady will ask us, Would you like two coloring books?

As Tom says....what is better than coloring with your new husband?
