Getting There.

The gnome's progress in regards to tummy time is astounding! After not really playing on her tummy much this week, she had two sucessful tummy times last night and this morning. She is now all of a (the?) sudden able to hold herself up on her arms and her head up straight, facing outward!!! I for one am amazed- I thought it would never happen!

As if that weren't cool enough, she has also started to push to the side and can lie on her side. She is thisclose to being able to roll from her upright tummy position to her back. I am going to make sure she has tummy time daily now so she can get the rolling down, asap. I don't want to push her, but I do want her to develop on schedule! Thankfully now that she can hold herself up, tummy time has received a much warmer reception, too!

In other growth news, I am proud to say the gnome has outgrown all her 0-3 stuff, and is now able to wear all the supercute size 3-6 clothing waiting in her closet, including the dresses her mommy bought her from gymboree (they were on clearance, with coupons, gift cards and on ebay, 'cuz mommy isn't made of money, you know...). Today she is wearing the cutest coral-colored dress w/ butterfly and flower embroidery. Yesterday she wore a yellow dress with tiny bees! I am even bidding on another 3 gymboree dresses, including one from the "girl dtective" line that is sooooo cute.
