We've got a roller!

Elli is officially rolling from belly to back.  She did it for the first time over a week ago.  But now she's very proficient at it.  It's just a matter of time before she figures out that she can also roll from her back to her belly.  Then we'll have yet another child who won't be in the same place we left her after we return from a short bathroom break!!

She's actually a very late roller compared to Adalyn and Alivia.  Livi was a little over 5 weeks old when she started to roll from back to belly and Addi was 6 1/2 weeks.  But they were actually reeeally early rollers.  However, poor Elli never had much practice on her tummy.  For at least the first month and a half of her life, I was afraid to put her on the floor out of fear she would get stepped on by her sisters.  So she was in her swing, her bouncy, her carseat, being held by us, etc.  Finally around two months, I started feeling much, much more comfortable putting her on the floor when her big sisters were awake.  So yeah, she was two months later in accomplishing this milestone than her sisters were, but I'll take the complete blame for that one!!!

The other milestone that we reached in this house is that both of the big girls now have all of their teeth!!!  Addi has had all of her two year molars for quite a while now.  But Livi finally cut the last of her's.  It seemed like those buggers would never come through.  So the girls are now done getting teeth until 6-7 years when the first set of permanent molars appear.  Whew, we survived teething.  Oh wait, we now have another baby that's going to begin the process all over again here very shortly.  Hmmm.  I guess we don't get a break...another two years of teething.
