Reading, Rolling & Balloons!

 I don't know how many people know that Loreli loves to read! The first time I showed her a book (she was about a month old) she was captivated and has loved books ever since. We were having problems after she was first born with bedtime and began to make reading books apart of our routine. Auntie Trin caught on and has been a great help at reading to Loreli. Here are some pictures over the last 5 months of them reading together.

Loreli and I both love it when Trin reads to her. She has been such a help to me since we've been here and we are going to miss her so much!

On a different note, Loreli has rolled over once before but since has not shown any interest or ability to do so again. Lately when laying on her back she will twist her body in half and almost roll over. Any time I pull out the camera to get a shot of her contortionist skills she rolls back and grins at me. Curses! I got a shot last night, it's not be best because I had to be sneaky.

Just so you know, her head was on the other side of the mat when I put her down. She may not be crawling or really rolling yet, but she is moving little by little.

Loreli has also found great joy in balloons lately! Thanks Kade for having a birthday so Loreli could play with the left over balloons!

Have a great day everybody!
