Sisterly Love

Tonight, while we read books to Hazel & Charlotte before they went to sleep, Charlotte sat on Ante's lap. Hazel sat on my lap, right next to Ante. Charlotte leaned over and put her arm around Hazel as though they were a happy couple. Charlotte then buried her head in Hazel's shoulder and sucked her (Charlotte's) fingers.

It was the sweetest thing. I wish one of us could have taken a photo, but it would have ended the moment.

I think Charlotte & Hazel are going to be best friends. I am so happy for them that they have each other, and I hope they go through life warmly embracing each other.

Rolling Over

Hazel rolled over for the first time yesterday. She went from her stomach to her back. She did it again, just once, today.

She seemed excited by her accomplishment, but I think both times were lucky accidents. She doesn't quite know yet how to do it again. Hazel does try however. While on her back, she gets really far over on her side, but she hasn't figured out how to propel herself over to her stomach yet. She has even started sleeping on her side.

Once Hazel masters the technique, I bet she is going to start rolling all over the place.

And we're still waiting for Charlotte to roll over again. She too is really close. Any day now she'll be doing it routinely.
