We don't worry too much about these official milestones – this is when they should roll, this is when the should crawl – generally taking a relaxed approach to this stuff, although it did make us think that perhaps we don't let her spend enough time on her own, as she's always being carried or cuddled. Over the last week we've made an effort to give her a bit more floor time, and it was evident straight away that she was trying to roll over. After watching her frustrate herself all week, today she finally got there. I turned around just in time to see the final flip-over, something I'm very grateful for. By the end of the day she had it mastered, and happily played up for a few photos. Although for now she can only roll one way. She can't turn left. Just like Zoolander.
lovely captures. this brings me right back to my girl's first twirl.
ReplyDeletebeaut pics, she is going to love those one day.
ReplyDeletego BB go!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh how cute. I absolutely adore this age, and how they smile at themselves so proudly when they've accomplished something new. My baby nephew just learned to sit up, and he is so proud of himself every time he does it.
ReplyDeleteshe is adorable!! look at the grin!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Sweet. Bundle. Of. Cuteness!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet thing to see. x
BB gets cuter with every post! That grin, those big eyes!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, she did it! Gorgeous photos. Mine never met any milestone on cue, made me feel bad, so threw the Baby Book away.
ReplyDeleteShe's got so much more than Blue Steel!! Her looks are so precious. That smile melts my heart.
ReplyDeleteshe's so absolutely beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteso adorable. what an excellent series. her last look is better than blue steel.
ReplyDeleteWow! She's growing so fast! I can't believe how quickly she's developing and progressing. And she's just so adorable, too!
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to thank you for your beautiful blog & candid posts.
I've been dropping by for a couple of months, but have never commented before.
I'm trying to work out how, and when, a baby will fit into our life, and your blog is helping me get my head around it all. You make it seem manageable and achievable, when everyone around me is telling me it's soooo hard & a real struggle.
So, many heart-felt thanks to you :)
Georgia
she looks very pleased with herself too!
ReplyDeletewell done, BB!
great photos - you capture great moments x
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a frequent dropper-inerer, but infrequent commenter. I LOVE your blog and wish I could know you in real life ;-)
Have to say this is one of the cutest series of pictures in the history of the internet. She's awfully pleased with herself in the last pic!
I have a six-week-old boy and I can't wait till he's smiling like that!
what a cracker, especially the concentration and surprise of achievement of # 3 & #4!
ReplyDeletewe got teeth, crawling and sitting up, all in the space of two days. Now Mr Uli is pulling his fine self up and bobbing up and down! O My Gosh, time to babyproof the flat!
xx tali
Love those final pics: "landed" and "the crowd goes wild".
ReplyDeletethese photos are totally adorable!! Well done BB. How lucky you were able to capture it so beautifully on camera!
ReplyDeleteprecious shots and hilarious comparison to zoolander. she's also ridiculously ridiculously goodlooking just like him too. xo m.
ReplyDeleteso adorable and such a great photo sequence... I love how proud of herself she looks after the roll! te he
ReplyDeletethis might just be the cutest thing i have ever seen! I love her look of total happiness in the last pic, completing her roll :)
ReplyDeleteso amazing how you captured such a special moment...I love the look of pure happiness on her face in the last pic!
ReplyDeleteI can't get over how adorable she is. What an imp - and her hat is just perfect.
ReplyDeletelovely pics! so sweet!
ReplyDeleteahhh..
ReplyDeletewhat an adorable photo series.
go BB go!
Well done BB!
ReplyDeleteshe's getting so big! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man, she is beautiful. And I'm with you, never listen to those 'your baby should be doing this' things. I used to get myself worked up into a knot. Until I thought, well I am sure Scout's not going to be crawling when she's 18.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how much BB has changed!! And boy oh boy, that smile is just divine!
Ah she´s so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWhat precious pictures...you'll treasure them forever!
ReplyDeleteI remember when Kaius was working on his roll, he used to clutch the edge of his blanket and bring it around with him so that he ended up swaddling HIMSELF into a burrito. By the time he was done playing, he was just a nice tired swaddled bundle all done up beautifully for me to nurse and cuddle :-)
ha!! wonderful! it's so exciting innit?
ReplyDeletehaving said that there's a lot to be said for being carried or cuddled!
I am with you.... milestones are at their own pace. I am not a book mum, go with your heart and bb will continue to have that big grin on her face. you are a beautiful mummy! xx
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness.. she is the cutest lil thing ever!
ReplyDeleteOh, congratulations on having THE cutest baby in the world!
ReplyDelete*squeal* that little cap and the gummy drolly smile! she's so precious.
ReplyDeletethis is about the cutest thing ever! Makes me so clucky...
ReplyDeleteAnna, I so think a flick book is order, do you know the ones I mean?! Rosey rolling over and over as the pages flip by would be the cutest thing ever. Because just these five pics alone are so darn cute!
ReplyDeleteoh my word, those pictures are so cute.
ReplyDeletegreat shots!
