If My Heart Were a Ball It Would Roll Uphill

Rolling over is the new black.




















We managed to grab a photo the second time she rolled over. She doesn't exactly know what to do once she has got there though!

All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth

Well, it turns out that Christmas has come early in the family M... This morning, while Daddy M was making her bottle I was lying on our bed playing with Olivia. I had just washed my hands so I didn't stop her when she grabbed one of my fingers and thrust it into her mouth. Frankly it made a change from her grabbing a handful of hair at each side of my face, yanking my head towards her and trying to use my jawbone as a teething toy!!

Anyway in goes the finger and she bit me. One thing I couldn't help but notice is that as if from nowhere she now has two front teeth. Yes my finger definitely noticed that and it wasn't even the one we had our eye on! In the spirit of blogging everything that ever happens to us for posterity, and so we can embarrass our darling daughter when she is 15, here they are!

This is Planet Earth

At 4.50 pm on July 7th, 2007, Olivia rolled onto her front for the first time. I was watching but wasn't particularly expecting her to make it this particular time. She had got so close so many times, surely past the point of balance only to flop back onto her back.

I just had time to nudge K___ as Olivia went over and we broke in to delighted applause. It frightened Olivia so much that she flipped back again and started crying before we could get a photo.

In the background, Duran Duran played 'This is Planet Earth' at Live Earth. I only wish I could be as uncynical about the effect Live Earth will have as I am about my daughter rolling over.
