She Rolls!

Annabel rolled over this morning! Nanny Kristi had her on her stomach for tummy time and has been putting her toys to the side juuuuust out of reach. So while I was in my office, dutifully working away, Kristi came running up and exclaimed excitedly, "Annabel just rolled over onto her back!"

So we went back to the living room to try to get her to do it again, and she did! Almost right away, too! Thinking that good things come in threes, I searched furiously around the house for the video camera. Well, I have yet to transfer the video to the computer, so the memory was full. Plan B! The small point-and-shoot camera shoots video! I ran to Annabel's room to get it.

Ready... action! I put on my Steven Soderbergh hat (yes, I'm referring to his shaky, documentary, hand-held camera style a la Traffic) and begin recording. And recording. And recording. I got lots of video of a very cute Annabel being her very cute self. On her tummy. Kristi and I provide the soundtrack with lots of encouraging in that high-pitched voice that you talk to babies in, accompanied with music from her Lamaze musical flowers toy.

I know it's Foto Friday, and I plan on uploading her pictures from the week this afternoon. I'll upload the video that I shot this morning then as well. And hopefully, I'll be able to capture her roll sometime today so that I can include it in Foto Friday!

Until then... cheers!
