A very busy day

Today, our little miss has had a few firsts!  This morning during playtime, she was able to roll over from her back to front for the first time, without the assistance of a pillow (she rolled over the first time she did tummy time because I propped her up on a pillow that propelled her over when she dropped her big ol' head). I missed the very first one because a basket of clean laundry was obstructing my view, but Jeremy was right by her side.

Later this afternoon, she had her first jump in the Jumparoo from Aunt Katie and Uncle Sahil.  Jeremy had the smart idea to fold a blanket or two under her feet so that she had something to push against, and she was able to jump a little!  Her eyes got very big after the first jump as if to say, "what the heck was that?!"  She enjoyed looking at all the toys and was able to move one of them pretty consistently.  We were able to get this on video, and it's quite fun to watch, but then I'm a little biased!



The last first that she had today was making the "milk" sign.  The other night we think she was experimenting with copying Jeremy when he made the "daddy" sign, but today she did the "milk" sign while tongue thrusting, which we already know is a hunger sign.  She did it constantly until we fed her.  Now, to be fair, the sign is just opening and closing her hand, which is incredibly common for little ones to do, but I like to think that she is on the way to learning it!

And as a bonus, I got a video of her staring intently into the camera.  It was meant to be a recording of a particularly chatty baby, but she just started noticing the camera, and is fascinated by it.  Consequently, it's a little boring for everyone but the most dedicated Willa fans, but I post it here for them :-).
