Kayci Rolls Over

Wow. Today was a big, eventful day in the life of Kayci. This morning she rolled over for the first time!!!! Then, thisevening she sat at the big table in her high chair for the first time while we ate dinner. My little girl is growing up! Here's how it happened:

This morning, Kayci woke up extra early at 6am and didn't want to go back to sleep. So we played with her and kept her up thinking that she would take a nap as soon as she got to Michele's. I called the gas company this morning to come out because Kristi said she smelled gas in the kitchen (make your own gastrointestinal joke here). The gas man drove up just as I was backing out of the driveway to take Kayci to Michele's house, so we unloaded and went back inside with the gas guy. While the gas man was fixing things, I fed Kayci a bottle. She ate about half of it and zonked clean out. I decided to put her down for a nap at home and that I would take her to Michele's house when she woke up. The gas man finished and once again prolonged the day when I blow myself up because of something stupid. After Kayci slept for about 45 minutes, she woke up. I had layed her on her tummy and she had her head raised way up when I went in to get her. It was the most I had seen her raise her head, so went and got my camera to take one of the hundred or so photos of Kayci that I take every week. While I was taking some pictures, she put her butt in the air and rolled over onto her side. I almost dropped the camera in disbelief. But I managed to get a "before" and "after" picture.

She lay on her side for a few minutes looking around and up at her mobile. I'm sure she was just as stunned as I was at what she had just done. I ran and got the video camera because I knew that Kristi wouldn't believe me- I'm a known liar when it comes to Kayci's accomplishments (such as having as special sound that only means "daddy," even though it's also the sound she makes jus before she lets a really big one.) So I rolled her back over on her tummy to see if she would do it again- and sure enough she rolled right back over. So being a man, I thought, "hmmm this is fun- I wonder how many times she'll do this in a row. So I turned her over again. This time I just ticked her off. She tried to turn, but it quickly devolved into a screaming hissy fit, which I dutifully got on tape. She never did turn over again, but I got one on tape at least just so Kristi (and everyone else) would know I wasn't a total liar.

That's about it. This evening I decided to put together Kayci's high chair and see if she would sit in it while we ate. Much to my surprise, she not only sat in it for the majority of our meal, she actually seemed to like it.

She was a tired girl, so Mommy put her down this evening. More on future rolling over incidents to come... Right now I'm just reveling in the fact that I'm the only one she's done it for. Woohoo!
