Rolly Polly

One of my biggest fears about being a working mom was the thought of missing one of Addison’s big milestones or “firsts” of anything. Well, today I am thankful for technology. One of the things we really liked about her daycare is that cameras are in the room so you can go online anytime and watch your kid. Anytime I am missing her during the day, I login and watch her for a few minutes. Its been helpful in helping me miss her less.

Today I logged in at 12:50, and luckily I got to see her roll over for the first time. We’ve been practicing at home, but she seemed fearful to throw her leg over to complete the roll. Within one minute of the teacher putting her on the mat, I saw Addison begin twisting her torso, but this time, her right leg came out of no where and completed the flip!

Now this leads me to the second best part of her daycare having video capability – I get to share it with you! Here are the stills of her FIRST time rolling over. The first pic is the start of the roll, the second is the leg kick (go, leg, go) and the third is her face plant into the mat. Isn’t she a cute little tumbleweed?

I must admit that I have gotten a little behind on the blog. On August 1st, I returned to work which means that Addison began daycare. She is doing great. The teachers say that each day she is adjusting more and more. Luckily her room has four video cameras which allows me to check on her whenever I want. Let’s just say that I don’t mind conference calls anymore because I can watch her.

The anticipation of starting work and daycare caused me to get a little behind on posts. What can I say? I wanted to spend every possible moment with her. Here are some pictures from July including Addison’s first Cubs’ game, posing in her WVU cheerleading outfit, tummy time and holding onto her toy.
