Growing Up

     My little girl is growing up so fast.  The past week and a half has been full of milestones for her.
  • Last Wednesday she held her head up nice and big for several seconds while she was doing tummy time. 
  • Last Friday night-Saturday morning, she slept through the night!  10:30 pm-6:00 am.  The past three nights she has slept until 7:00 or 7:30 am.  It is wonderful to get a full nights sleep!
  • Last Friday she also rolled over all by herself from her tummy to her back.  We couldn't believe she would be rolling over this early but she did it for us 3 times and continues to do it every once in a while for us now (mostly when she's mad).
  • On Mondy she gave us a great big smile.  She was laying in her crib after nap time and I went in to get her and she gave me a big grin.  It melted my heart and brought tears to my eyes.  I love seeing her big toothless grin.  
  • This is the best picture I have been able to get of her smiling so far.  She seems to be a little camera shy. 
  • Yesterday we used the last of her Newborn diapers.  It was kind of sad to throw the last one away and put on a size 1.  
  • The past few days she has become so alert.  As we walk around the room when she is laying on the floor she turns her head and watches us and turns her head to look for sounds.  She is getting so fun to watch and play with.  
     I'm so glad I get to stay home and see her learn all these new things.  Being a mom is the BEST!

  1. Yes, being a mom is the BEST. Enjoy every minute of time with her because she will grow up before you know it. Yesterday our little girl turned 25. So hard to believe that it has been 25 years since we were watching with awe, and pride and joy as you passed these same milestones and brought joy to our hearts and tears to our eyes. Love you all so much! Mom and Dad Olsen.
