Yesterday (Sunday, October 14, 2012) you rolled over! I had set you down on your play mat so I could build your brother's early birthday gift from Auntie Darlene. One minute I hear you kicking the piano like a mad woman and the next minute it's quiet. I glance over at you and you're on your tummy. So no, I didn't actually see this milestone take place but I've seen you roll to your side a number of times. Thankfully you decided to do this while on the floor and not on the couch or bed. I can't believe how much you are growing. I love watching your excitement when you accomplish new milestones. I left you on your tummy for just a bit after you rolled just to see if you would continue to play but instead you started to make your shrieking cat sounds so I laid you down on your back again and you jammed away kicking your piano again. You make me laugh and I am so happy I get to witness you learning new things on your own.
Also yesterday, you really wanted to cuddle with me. Of course I did not deny this request. Usually you prefer to fall asleep on your own but for some reason for your afternoon nap (your longest one of the day) you wanted me to rock you. Which I had no objection to. We had been on the go all morning so maybe you just wanted to be held. Whatever the reason, I soaked in the warmth of you in my arms. I probably stared at you for a good 30 minutes before I put you down in your bed. I just stood there in the living room, rocking you. With only the sound of your breathing filling our space, I was quiet content in that moment.
Days like today make me very grateful that you chose me to be your momma.
Love you mi hijita!
Momma
