It's official, G is now mobile!

Yesterday afternoon I put G down in her crib for her nap and walked out, as usual. She fussed a bit before going down, also typical. However, for some reason, her fussing sounded different, so I went into her room to peek at her and the first thing I saw was a head, the BACK of her head. That's strange! When I got closer, I realized that she had rolled over and was on her belly with her head up. Sigh, silly baby! So I put her back on her back (also redirected her b/c she had rotated) and said goodnight to her. She promptly fell asleep.

Last night when we were playing with her before bed, she rolled over again, from her back to her belly. She had rolled from her back a few weeks back, but since then had only rolled to her side, and then from her side to her belly. Last night, not only did she repeatedly roll from back to belly, but after a few minutes looking around and playing on her belly, continued her journey and rolled again to her back. We have now determined that she is outgrowing her playmat because she can roll from one side to the other (and partially off of it).

G has also discovered that she can grab the arches (which she previously enjoyed kicking) and sway the whole thing with her hand. She is also big enough that she can now grab the toys that hang from the top of the arches.

G is also laughing more, which is soooo much fun! She never laughs when you repeat whatever it was that made her laugh in the first place, which makes things challenging. But this time she laughed when I was singing to her (a made up song about going camping).

We are getting ready to take G camping. It will be her first camping trip and we are hoping she will enjoy it. It is always difficult (especially because we are newbie parents) to know how much is the right amount to pack. It's only car camping, so we don't have to worry so much about weight, but we also don't want to overpack too much, but we want to be prepared for whatever surprises G might have for us (like when she pooped 4 times in one day on Wednesday).
