She Rolls!

Clare made a big step today... or should we say, roll! She rolled! She rolled from her tummy to her back towards the left side. This is very exciting for two reasons:
1 - She rolled! (Can you tell we're excited??) Just the fact that Clare rolled on her own is a big milestone. We are unsure how delayed she is going to be, but right now, she is still on track. So, a big HOORAY for Clare!
2 - She rolled using her left arm. Her left side is weaker than her right, so it is great that she has enough strength in her left to force herself over.

We marveled over every milestone that Jamie accomplished as a baby and, before Clare was born, couldn't help but wonder if we would be as excited over our second child's milestones. We soon learned that you are! Even if Clare was not a special needs child, we would marvel at her strength and determination. She is such a hard worker already. You can see the strain on her face as she works on this. We are so proud of our baby girl! Keep on rolling!
