All by herself!

Lia's learned to roll over on her stomach by herself!!!! YAY!!!!

I was getting worried that she still couldn't do it - because of her weight - but now that she's rolling over every moment, well, we're proud parents!

And we're not just the ones proud - even Lia laughs her head off when she's on her stomach already!

To fit or not to fit

Two weeks ago, Lia weighed 16.5 lbs. At four months of age. That was my weight when I was nine months old!

She's wearing clothes now fit for 6 to 9 month-old babies. Some are for one-year-olds. I wanted to believe that baby clothes manufacturers were wrong with the fittings, but no. My baby is just big.

And although Lia is very responsive - chattering, listening intently, smiling, and laughing - she's not that advanced physically. Because of her body weight, she cannot roll over by herself yet! At first it was cute, but now it isn't. It's worrying me - because if she can't roll over yet, that means she won't crawl yet...and sit yet...and learn to stand yet...

So: I texted my best friend Ruth, who's an occupational therapist. I asked her to please come over and check Lia. Since she can't yet, she's going to teach me some massage techniques over the phone to help Lia.

I hope she rolls over soon!!!
