A Momentous 24 Hours

These last 24 hours were pretty big for Ellena. Momentous, you could say...

Last night, as her pediatrician predicted, Ellena woke up crying - not because she was hungry, but because she's starting to remember which led to her screaming for me. Some sort of object permanence thing. Lovely! So I spent 5 minutes with her trying to calm her down and when I left, she squirmed for less than a minute and was zonked out for the night. We shall see if this continues or not...

Today, Ellena rolled over! Every time we placed her on her back, she would swing her leg across her body and get in this odd twisted position. She needs a little nudge to get over her shoulder, but once she's on her belly, she's enjoying the new view. In just a couple days, her neck has gotten sooo much stronger - really cool to see her development! But now, there's also that chance that she'll be "practicing" in her sleep, which is yet another reason she will wake up crying. I'm just way too spoiled with my full nights of sleep.
