In Leaps and Bounds

Abigail has had a very busy week.

First, she learned how to roll over in a limited capacity last weekend, which means that she can roll in a single direction and only from back to front. It actually took awhile to confirm this since she only seemed to do it when we were out of the room, but the fact that she was on her back when I walked into the kitchen and on her front when I got back seems to point to the obvious.


She has actually rolled from back to front at least once that I know of, but she doesn't seem inclined to repeat the performance. Instead, she prefers to roll over (very quickly and with skill) and just let us know when she's ready to get back over (loudly!). We're looking forward to her working the rest of that little trick out.

In the meantime, instead of perfecting that little maneuvre, she has instead moved on and found her feet. As of this afternoon, she officially has feet which she loves to wave around in the air and grab onto with a very smug look on her face.



If that wasn't enough, she also made a new friend named 'Snooshy'. She didn't actually name him of course, but that's what her little 'hand-combed Tibetan yak-down' friend is called for the moment. Complete with shorts and a hat and very edible feet, I suspect he will feature among her favourites for awhile.
