Monthly Milestones

Birthday month#3 is approaching for Leyna and we've got more milestones to record. She's been impressing us in so many ways. In addition to maintaining a great pattern of sleeping through the night...She's quickly developing her leg strength. She has an activity infant seat that plays music and glides up and down when they kick, and shes kicking hard enough now to activate the music herself. She loves standing all the time and her legs can hold up her weight (she just needs assistance with the balancing of course). She's becoming more coordinated as she finally reached up and grabbed her playmat toys for the first time. Also, we wanted to see how close she is to rolling over on her own since we realized we haven't really tried to get her to do so before.
With her book as motivation, she easily managed to get on one side, but (with amazing flexibility) would end up just arching her head back more and more. Well, this morning she was laying on our bed, Dan and I were in conversation before he left for work, and next thing we know she had rolled over onto her belly while trying to get her left fist in her mouth! We reset her on her back, and once again she rolled over. Perhaps it helped that she could "sink" into the mattress a bit, so we still have yet to try again on the floor. Still, it was an exciting moment!

To top off the night, right before her bedtime we were "talking" and she just started laughing! I recorded a bit of the audio (had to hide the phone so she wouldn't get distracted as usual.) We're anxious to hear her laugh more! Here's some clips to enjoy...
