My Little Roly Poly

Today has been a day of rolling, rolling rolling for Miss Madeline. She has mastered rolling every which way.  She used to just be able to roll from left to right when on her back.  That meant if she was up next to the side of her crib she would get stuck.  Well, now she has no problem. It seems like every time we get back from a trip she has learned something new.  Last time it was putting her legs up under her into a crawling position and sitting up by herself more steadily.  This time she is rolling multiple times in a roll in all directions.  She loves rolling over half way and then looking up at whoever is near and then rolling over the rest of the way.  She loves rolling so much it's hard for her to settle down and take a nap because all she wants to do is roll.  I would always put her pacifier in her mouth, pat her a few times, and leave.  Now if I stay long enough to do all that she just rolls over to look up at me.  By the end of today we learned to just put her down and leave.  She rolls around for about 10-20 minutes.  When she is tuckered out, she falls asleep.  It's so fun to watch her on the monitor.  Sometimes all you see are those chubby little legs and feet up in the air.  I love my little Roly Poly!
