The Bell Family

Laura’s 4 ½ months old now and has just learned to roll! It’s amazing how they just wake up one morning and suddenly something clicks! Whilst having some early morning tummy time, Laura rolled from her tummy onto her back. I figured it was probably just a fluke and that it could be a few days or even weeks before she’d do it again, but incredibly she did it another 10 or 20 times before the day was out!!! Jason and I were so proud!!! Given our reaction to a simple ‘roll’, I can only begin to imagine what we’ll be like when she says her first words and takes her first steps!!!

She’s still teething and the little critters seem to keep going up and down (along with the volume of dribble)!!! Anything and everything that will fit in her mouth makes it there somehow (even her feet – see photo)!!! She’s been a little irritable (I think), but unless they bring out a new version of babies with subtitles, I guess we’ll never really know!!! But I’m sure her new little teeth will appear soon enough….

She’s become a real Mummy’s girl lately – has to have me in her sights (and preferably be in my arms) – if anyone else picks her up, she generally cries (but we think that might be something to do with the teething) – she just wants her Mummy!!!

Daddy is still her favourite when it comes to playing games though. It must be a great relief for her after hanging out with Mummy all day – I guess that could get boring after a while, but I’ve been having a great time!

Laura reckons that Nanna, Ma and Pa are pretty good as well and even the Uncle’s get a look in occasionally! She has good eye contact and has a great time blowing raspberries to them all! She’s even giving her vocals a pretty good workout these days – maybe I’m imagining it, but I’m sure there’s a ‘Mum’ and funny sounding ‘hello’ in there somewhere. Who needs entertainment when you’ve got Laura!!!

Anyway, all the best to you all and until the next instalment, take care and be well!!!

Cheers,
Chrissy
