A rolling Molly gathers no Moss

That's right, Molly has gone Mobile. Yesterday I decided to play a game with her that I call Magic Carpet Ride, where I put her on a blanket on the floor and pull her around. I guess all of that action inspired her roll over, left to right, belly to back. I'm kind of relieved because I hate tummy time almost as much as she does so I was always avoiding it. I was pretty sure that my lack of interest was going to result in her never moving independently...but again I was wrong...thankfully I usually am. As I promised Grandma, here's a rolling stone video...no not that kind, but I will say that as soon as I can, I'm going to teach her how to do the Mick Jagger chicken dance, and there will definitely be a video of that.

On the 11th for her 3 month birthday I took Molly in for another weigh in at Jonny's office. You can really tell that she's chunking up when you compare this picture to the previous weigh in, she takes up the whole scale now, and since then she's gained about 2 lbs, so she's really cruising.




I
also thought I would include an updated video of Molly's motor boating progress. It's funny because when she learns a new sound, that immediately becomes her new communication for everything. Happy...motorboat, Sad...motorboat, Hungry...motorboat. As you can see in this video she's upset about something, and because I'm such a good mother I just take a video of her in hope of a motorboat...I'm awesome!

I thought it would also be worth mentioning that Molly has decided that her thumb is where its at. I like this shot because it look like a classic little kid move, Sucking her thumb while clinging for dear life to the little blanket thing...what the hell are those things supposed to be called anyhow?
Sorry to throw all these videos out there on one post but here is the blooper reel from Molly's roll over video. It took me all day to get her to do it on film and there was lots of footage that just didn't make the cut. If you listen closely to this, you hear some interesting action from Molly...and then me laughing at her. After this shot, we had to take 5 for a diaper change.

  1. cute videos Becca. Kate rolled last week and I was so very excited! She did it about twice and then it stopped. I am doing the carpet time thing too as she has stopped liking tummy-time (she used to like it)...oh well.

  2. Rolling over and everything! She's getting bigger and bigger. I love the tugboat sound in that last video :-) Can't wait to see her (and you!) again. M
