rawhide!

this girl is rollin', rollin', rollin'! 
(i am in the mood for some corny jokes. i'm so sorry.)


i got some pictures of poppy (in our dark, dark living room) just after she rolled over for the first time. 

(she's not quite sure what just happened.)

i didn't know if she was going to make it all the way over because she was so intent on keeping her thumb in her mouth and her arm was getting in the way. 


and i also got some from the next day when she was just being adorable (as usual).
(i am trying to keep up with the pictures and not follow the usual (and understandable) trend of having progressively less pictures of each child in the family.)

as much as she loves sleeping, she loves to be moving. she wiggles those legs and she somehow inches around on her back a little bit.

i can't believe she's such a big girl. i busted out the six month size clothes a couple of weeks ago and i am still a little surprised when i put them on her and they fit.

 (yes, she grins like this all the time. best smile ever.)

move 'em on, head 'em up,


rawhide! 

(i feel the need to apologize for my extreme love of parentheses usage.) 
(then again, i don't really.) 
(i love parentheses. plus, i'm pretty sure it's true to the way i talk.) 
(i mean, there are a lot of "by-the-way...'s" in my everyday speech.)
