Mariko's rolling!

So, after the day that we missed the roll.... she rolled twice two days later. We did see them but didn't catch them on video. Just a couple of days ago I managed to catch it on video! So now it's official. All of her rolls that day were front to back - all to the right except one which was left. Today as I put her down on the floor she rolled back to front in two motions - to her side as I put her down and then all the way over! She hasn't done the whole thing yet but if I get her to her side she'll roll over. Pretty cool!

Now comes the hard part. Because she is making moves to rolling we need to put her on the flat surface in her Pack n' Play and also stop swaddling her. I figured we would do it all at once but Toshi had the idea we would do it in two steps - this weekend we were planning on moving her out of the curved Newborn Napper anyway since the Pack n' Play at mom's house doesn't have one, but now we'll be doing it all at once! We can still swaddle, it just needs to be with arms out. So tonight will be her last Newborn Napper, swaddle sleep. I have a feeling it might be a rough weekend but we shall see. Starting tomorrow morning she's a big girl!

On Tuesday we will go in for her 4 month check-up and be able to tell the pediatrician all the cool things she's been doing. Her head holding is nearly 100% which makes it much more fun to hold her and she's started playing with her toys and grabbing on to things which is pretty cool as well. Also, when she's on her stomach she will stay a long time with her head up in the air and has even gotten to one elbow and one hand! Our little girl is growing up so fast!

Two weeks from Saturday. I can't believe it!! So ready to go! And I decided to have mom come and help with the flight. Strange since Mariko has to sit on the window, but since I'll need to pump on the plane, it will be really really nice to have her there to help out.

SO SOON!

Mariko rolled! And we missed it....

Mariko rolled this morning from front to back. I was pumping and Toshi was watching her. He was checking something on his computer and keeping an eye on her and all the sudden I hear "How did you get there?" And she was on her back. I think it freaked her out a bit but she did it! Hopefully she'll do it again for me.... today... ;-)

We decided last night wether she was rolling or not that June 1st we are moving her out of the "newborn napper" and going to stop swaddling. Cold turkey, all at once moving her to flat ground and no swaddle. She can't be in either if she's rolling and my mom's Pack n' Play that she'll be sleeping in in Seattle until our stuff comes doesn't have the newborn napper so she's going to have to learn to do without it!

We had a rough morning yesterday but so far a great one today! :-)
