Holy Roller!

Sunday Abigail started to roll- and ROLL!  She's been rolling over for a couple of months now, but now she's on the move.  I've put out a cotton blanket for her on the floor, you know the mother in me, trying to protect her from the "dirty carpet", but she really likes to roll off the blanket and onto the carpet and touch it with her hands.  I think she likes that it's scratchy like her daddy's goatee!  :)

I've been really trying to work with her on developing fine-motor skills.  So far she really prefers to explore things with her feet :)   She plays her piano, touches me and Daddy's face...with her tootsies. 

Today I wiggled my fingers, and made my hands big and small and she was moving her fingers too, so I think she'll catch on soon :)  We'll be making Patty Cakes and Tortillitas in no time! 

Tortillitas - the Mexican equivalent to Patty Cake

It goes like this:

Mommy like Tortillas

Steaming Hot and Yummy

Make them round

and nicely browned

For Daddy's hungry tummy

As it is right now, she really like to eat her tortillas before we get to the Steaming Hot and Yummy part. :)  I keep telling her she'll get sick if we don't cook the tortillas first, but she takes no heed.  Good thing they're make believe, or else she'd have a tummy ache.

You can see her new teeth in this one!
