I wasn't a fluke!
So today Kayla figured out how to roll from her tummy to her back. We have been working on tummy time to help with developing her neck and arm muscles like the doctor said. She has been doing really well today with keeping her head up. I think she got annoyed with how much I was putting her on her tummy and wanted to do something about it. She put her arm up, laid her head down, and all the sudden the back of her shoulders were on the ground and her knees where twisted and on the ground as well. She was all twisted up. I kept watching and saw her legs follow the direction of her shoulders. She laid there on her back looking at me. I could tell by the look on her face she was thinking "What just happened?" and "I hope mommy doesn't get mad". I looked back at her and smiled one of the biggest smiles of my life. I was so excited I picked her up and hugged her, kissed her, and just kept clapping. She just started smiling from ear to ear. I put her back down on her tummy and after a few more minutes, she did it again! It wasn't a fluke! Todd got home about 10 minutes later and I told him what had happened. He said I was making the whole thing up. We watched her for a while and nothing. I think she was tired from the previous times. She mustered up some strength and rolled. Todd just smiled and encouraged her. Later we had Laura and Roger over and we were doing more tummy time and just kept rolling from her tummy to her back. I think she was showing off her new trick for them. I'm not sure how we are going to keep her on her tummy to help strengthen her neck/arm muscles if she keeps rolling over. Just got to keep telling myself that she will figure it out and to just wait for her to be ready.
