Day #128 (Tue., May 11, 2010) – Tummy to Back…

2:33am – Little Katie was “thumping” by raising her legs high into the air and letting them “thump” onto the crib. The noise has stopped…I think she has “thumped” herself to sleep.

When I got home from work my wife told me that little Katie had hit a milestone today. She was able to roll over from her tummy to her back. This was the first time. Her arms are getting stronger each and every day.

The photo to the right show some of the new clothes that we purchased for little Katie this past weekend. Take a good look at them now…at the rate she is growing they will be in a box somewhere before too long.

When my wife found little Katie in the crib this afternoon she was lying across the crib instead of up and down. Basically she changed her direction 90 degrees. We’re not exactly sure how she managed to do this…but perhaps when she thumps her legs up and down she managed to twist herself sideways.

7:12pm -Little Katie is jumping up and down in the jumperoo…trying desperately to impress daddy with her new skill… Amazing how they learn. When we first put little Katie into the jumperoo she didn’t know what to do. Now she jumps up and down in it like a pro.

8:13pm – Daddy just changed little Katie and as soon as you put the sleeping bag on her she knows what’s up…she is going to bed. No more looking all over the place to see new sights. No more controlling the planet from the safety of the jumperoo. All little chipmunks must go to sleep and recharge their batteries, but little Katie is not having anything of it. She screams and screams and screams, but to no avail. She starts to yawn the then it’s counting sheep time..
