Your Name! and Rolling Over

Hi Sweetie,
okay, you (and everyone else) are going to think I'm crazy, but I swear that you said your name yesterday. Your dad heard it too! I know, I know, you're just 12 weeks today, there's no way that a 12 week old baby could be saying her name. Well, you & I have been doing a lot of talking--all right, it's not exactly talking, more like babbling, but I babble at you and then you babble back--you get pretty excited. Yesterday we were having a little conversation, and I said your name...then you imitated me so well! You did it more than once--it was amazing. Maybe you're the Smartest Baby on the Block!
You've also been rolling over during tummy time. You first did it a few days ago..I think it was June 27. I put you on your stomach, looked away, and when I looked back at you, you were on your back. So I put you back on your stomach, and I saw you rolling over with my own eyes. You did it again yesterday--your dad got it on camera.
Yesterday we went for a walk with you on Fifth Ave in Brooklyn-your dad carried you in the Bjorn. We agreed we'd have dinner at one of the Mexican restaurants in Sunset Park, a few neighborhoods away. When we got there, we found out that it was only men watching soccer in the restaurants..not the most comfortable site for breastfeeding! (Remind me to bring a bottle next time.) So I did feed you behind a blanket, but it wasn't so relaxing. Not to mention it was past your bedtime and you started to get a little cranky. And we realized we couldn't take a car service home since we didn't have your carseat! Fortunately we were able to take the bus, and the loud motor lulled you to sleep.
Well, you're currently taking a nap..I'd better jump into the shower before I lose my window of opportunity.
One more thing.. I just ordered a few boxes of size 2 diapers for you..I think you're outgrowing size 1. Must be the milk!
Love ya,
your mom
