Roll, baby, roll!

This morning Madelyn woke up at 4:45 AM. Mommy wasn't holding her breath thinking Madelyn would take long naps again today, but she knew for sure she wouldn't when she woke up so early. Luckily, Madelyn went back to sleep at 6 and Daddy let Mommy sleep until 7:45 when Katie texted that she was up for the day. Mommy ran over there quickly to weigh herself for the biggest loser contest that the Buffalo Mother's Group held. Mommy didn't trust Mimi and Papa's scale for some reason. It wasn't showing much of a lose and there should have been.
Since Madelyn woke up for the day later than normal Mommy didn't have her try to get herself to sleep on her own. Instead, she soothed her so Mommy could hop in the shower and start the day.
Would Madelyn sleep longer than half an hour? Nope. Half an hour it was!
The three of them hopped in the car and met Katie and Safina at the Smallwood playground. Madelyn nursed before they left so, time was limited. Mommy thought that Madelyn may have been stimulated enough to push through the next 90 minutes cycle, but that didn't happen. Mommy felt bad having to leave, but thankfully, William was agreeable. He had a great time climbing up the playset and going down the slide. He was also pushed on the swing, but he enjoys being "free" more!
The day went on with half hour naps.
While William was napping, Mommy and Madelyn were hanging out. Madelyn has been trying for the last few days to roll over. She tries so hard! Over 17 lbs has got to be tough to roll over for the first time!
Mommy tried to get William outside as much as possible. While Madelyn was sleeping they checked on the peas and grapes in the backyard and the tulips out front. William is going to be a great gardener...and bird watcher, and mathematician, and artist, and cook, and entertainer, and...this author digresses!
Later in the afternoon William was up and down, on and off the couch. He made a static mess of his hair! And of course, he is hamming it up for the camera.
William is starting to go to bed a little later...between 7:30 and 8. He seems to be sleeping in a little later.
