A poor quality video of "the roll"

As I think I mentioned before, I was trying to quickly find a camera to capture the roll, when I saw that she was going to do it again, and only managed to get my phone camera working in time to go from when she's on her side almost rolled, to the finish. And then of course a zoom in for an interview after, to get her reaction.

It's also taken from the doorway because I didn't want my presence to interfere with her concentration. And the quality is even worse because Mark had to rotate it (I had the camera on the side), which meant we lost some quality. So you may have to squint, but a roll is definitely there!

Daily Ada: 26 April 2012: Rock 'n roll

Today Ada rolled from her back to her front, via her left side. It first happened when I was out of the room; I saw some activity from the doorway of the laundry room and when I came in she was on her front.
This picture is from immediately after. After letting her enjoy her success for a bit and doing a diaper change (I think maybe she rolled over to give herself some space since she did a poo immediately after), I put her back in the position she had been in before.
I wasn't expecting her to do it again, but she did. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a good camera in time, so only captured the second roll from when she made it onto her side through to the end of the roll, with my phone's video camera. But I'll post that soon any way!
In other news, I think I may have heard her first giggle/laugh today. It happened when she was watching herself in the mirror, so I had nothing to do with the cause, but it was great just the same.
Also her British passport arrived today, so she is ready for June!
It was a big day today!

Daily Ada: 24 April 12

Today we visited the 'Well Baby' clinic, which is held weekly in Clevedon. It's a drop in session where you can have your baby officially weighed to see how they're growing.

They have a bunch of changing mats set up, so you get your baby ready (ie naked) and then wait for your turn.

Ada had a good time being naked and watching the baby next to her while waiting!

For those keeping track, she's 6.16kg, or about 13 lb 9 ounces. So she's continuing to track along quite nicely just above the 50th percentile. Nice and average. We like average. Go average!

Super Ada!

She likes flying, what can we say.
(And she can't smile whilst mid-air - it's a serious business requiring serious concentration.)

Daily Ada: 20 April 12

Swim classes started today. But I thought it would be too busy to take a photo there (I was right) so we took a couple at home when testing out the new suit.

The other picture is from inside the car after the class. It went well and Ada seemed to enjoy herself!
