You never really know how dirty your carpet is until you have a baby rolling around on it.
Thats right folks, we have a roller! She rolled tummy-to-back early last week and went through a phase where she would consistently roll to her back if we ever laid her down on her tummy. The first time she did it Brett was down encouraging her and when she did it we both cheered and clapped. I think the whole experience scared her because she started crying. Often she will prop herself up while on her tummy and "play" with us if we are down on her level. Then when we get up or stop engaging her she decides she is done and will simply roll over.
Then on Monday of this week I put her on her back and looked over seconds later and she was on her tummy. She has been twisting her body getting ready to do this for quite some time so I wasn't too surprised. I got up and put her on her back and she did it again! And just like that, it was official.
Since discovering her new talent this little girl does not like to lay still. Yesterday I laid her down and she rolled over and then scooted herself on her belly a couple feet off her blanket and across the carpet. Here is where I learned the truth about my carpet. I went to go pick her up and she had a lovely ball of hair in her hand. Gross! I know! Last night Brett was watching her and she rolled over 6 times in a row! So it looks like I'm going to have to get her a bigger blanket to play on and vacuum more often. She is still just figuring out the whole being able to roll and get places thing, but it won't be long before she is seeking out her toys and being able to entertain herself for longer periods of time. I think she is really enjoying her freedom and I am going to enjoy not being the one who has to constantly move her around when she gets bored.
And for your viewing pleasure here is a video of her rolling to her tummy. (Sorry for the abrupt ending, Brett came into the room and scared me...)
