Don't Blink!

This week has proven to be a "big girl" week for Kensley! We are happy to report that tummy time is much more successful nowadays (it was Chinese Torture for a while) and maybe she will begin to enjoy the mobility she is seeking. She hangs out on her tummy - more and more each day - smiling and interacting instead of cursing it. Kensley does a good job of holding her head a neck up, but has come to use her arms for the process, now. We also suspect she is working on some teeth. She looooves to chew on things now more than ever and drools profusely! Aside from all the talking going on, Kensley has learned to vocalize with great inflection. She gets so tickled at all the noises that come from her mouth. Earlier in the week, she let out a HUGE belch (which we normall praise, then say, "Excuse me.") that came from the tips of her toes and sounded so funny. It must have been just as funny to her, or maybe even felt funny, because she giggled immediately following. Quite a memorable moment. Yesterday, Kensley went for her well baby 4 month appointment and got a great report. She is 15.2 pounds (90th percentile!) and 25 inches long (75th percentile). Each day she looks more and more like a little girl instead of the newborn we brought home 4 months ago. My, how time flies! What an enormous blessing (and responsibility) to watch her grow and become the delightful little girl we know! Soooooo, today, (2 March) Kensley was on her tummy and rolled over to her back!!! Thankfully, she was in her crib while I was folding her clothes right there and rolled ever so gently. I just watched in slow motion as this milestone passed me in a flash. She's a big girl! We hope to caputre it on video sometime today so you can see progess in action.
