we've turned a corner

These past couple of weeks have brought great changes in our little Ansley. The biggest is that she can finally flip over from her back to stomach. WOO, HOO! Why is that so great? If you have been following my blog you would know that, for a while now, at night she would flip over and cry until we flipped her back over...kind of like a turtle on its back. She was just paralyzed with fright. So thankfully we have no more middle of the night flipping over problems. So with this new feat brings another 1st for Ansley....moving. Now when we lay her on the floor we always come back with her flipped over and across the room. She loves her new independence! This morning she just did her first scoot through the living, dining, kitchen and back to the living room.

Here she is having fun with her little friend from downstairs.


Another 1st Ansley had this past week is her first tooth. She had been fussy the past week or so but we just chalked it up to her being a little feisty and just a little high-maintenance. But thankfully it was a tooth and now she's back to her happy, smiley and a little kick of feisty self again.

And Ansley's other new development is being able to sit up. She's not super steady about it but she's working on strengthening those core muscles.


So fun to see her growing and learning new things. It just keeps getting more fun from here.

I adore her open-mouthed smile...and I hope this means you'll be getting more uninterrupted rest.

I want to hug her and squeeze her and chase her around the kitchen:)

(Grandma was so happy that Susie got her little girl. You should her grandma laugh when she sees the little videos. It really makes us feel more connected with you all.) Uncle KIrb and Aunt Peg
