21 weeks old OR "My Increasingly Active Little Baby..."

Now that she's learned to roll over, Leah just can't stop! She prefers to be on her belly and if you put her on her back, she will automatically roll to be on her tummy. (From what I read this is opposite of a lot of babies, who roll more often from tummy to back.) She does know how to roll the other way, but most of the time she forgets and gets mad and "yells" until someone comes to turn her over. She inches all over her playmat and can no longer be contained in that small of a space.


She is starting to grow bored more quickly now and has to change locations/ toys often or she gets fussy. I think she would really benefit from a walker or some sort of other toy where she can sit up & look around, as she is very social and loves to be able to see what's going on. She's always kicking her legs. Changing her clothes takes forever because she just wants move. I never know how I might find her in her crib when she wakes up from a nap. More than once she's been on her tummy in the very corner of the crib, "eating" the monitor. (Everything is going in the mouth these days!)

Bathtime is especially fun because everyone gets wet! She loves the water and kicks her legs like she's swimming the whole time. This little girl is well on her way to moving all over the place!


Exhibit A: Leah's usual playtime "dance."
