on a roll

GRETA ROLLED OVER TODAY!! i typically don't fool with capital letters when i type, but this milestone seemed a fitting use for them. for the past week or so, greta has been rolling onto her side more and more. she and her papa have also been doing some serious rolling tutorials, spending time helping her roll from her back to her belly and vice versa. we knew it was just a matter of time before she did it completely on her own. today greta and i dropped joe off at his parents like we do every sunday, and then we headed to my parents house for a few hours. greta, grandma joan (my mom) and i were playing on the floor. greta kept rolling onto her side and ALMOST rolling over. my mom and i kept getting excited....i think greta thought we were crazy. greta played and played on the floor, and she was really moving all around. at this point she was no longer on the blanket but was underneath the coffee table and was perpendicular to how we laid her down. and then all of the sudden, she rolled over. she rolled to her right side, from her back to her belly. my mom and i both jumped up and started screaming, laughing, and clapping. even greta's grandpa bill (my stepdad) was excited!! greta, however, was not to excited, as she had then pretty much pinned her arms underneath her and was on her belly, which she doesn't enjoy. but she rolled over!! way to go greta!! hopefully we'll catch this rolling on camera sometime soon....

SO fun! What a fun milestone. Hopefully, she'll do it again so her papa can see her. Ella rolled over once when no one was watching and hasn't done it again since
