*Layla rolled over!!!!! Shannon put her on her tummy for tummy time in her crib and walked away to put a load of laundry in the wash. When she came back Layla was on her back smiling up at her! Shannon got so excited and cheered for her and pleaded with her to do it again on film and for 4 days we've been trying to capture it on film, to no avail. Layla seemed very proud of herself! She's so close to rolling over but usually gets so mad about being on her tummy that she can't calm down long enough to try to roll. Silly Lady bug:)

*We'll be starting solid foods soon. Starting with veggies, then fruits, then cereal. At 6 months, all according to the MD and American Pediatrics studies.
