Five in the Bed...

Carrying her own weight

Friday was off today... a national holiday all across China. So what did we do?

We slept in. Delicious.

We also did some grocery shopping, but not a single thing more.

Rather proud of herself

Well, actually, Margaret did do something interesting.

Click on the video to see what it was.

Yay Margaret! It's gonna be a whole new ballgame now! :)

Congratulations!!!
Not certain if the "roll over" or your presentation is more impressive, John. Beautifully done.
I, of course, feel SUPREMELY cheated, but am pleased that all of the work that Margaret and I did on the "left arm tuck" maneuver finally payed off!
Love, Pa

Fun Fact: Margaret, for the first time, is now sleeping on her side!

Sarah saw this, flipped her back on her back, and Margaret then promptly flipped back on her side.

She's getting this whole rolling thing down!

Rock on, Margaret! Just watch out for the edge of the bed...
And tell your parents to watch out, because the baby tide is rising.... anything at ankle level is now in danger!
Hey, this summer can we do a baby music swap? I love the recording of 'five in the bed' you used.
hugs all around.

When Carrie was this age, we planned a weekend away with her at an inn for my birthday. We had it all planned that we would put her to bed in the crib and go downstairs for dinner. That night, she learned to roll over. In those days we put babies to sleep on their stomachs, so when she rolled over she was like a turtle, flailing away and cried! So much for the romantic get away. She joined us at the table and has been great company ever since!
Enjoy!

Funny you should mention that... Margaret actually turned over from her front on to her back while Jack and I were watching her a couple of times, but she hasn't managed to do it since.

We're waiting for her to relearn this behavior so that we can feel better about the risk of SIDS.
