Rolling Over Makes Her Puke...

Brooke and I have been practicing rolling over, its a milestone that many babies reach around 4 months ... and she isnt quite there yet. If I see her rocking to one side, I guide her in completely rolling over (this generally occurs when she is on her back and rolls a bit on her side). We also roll over from back to front and front to back without her taking the initial initiative - by me literally taking her and flipping her around.

There are two problems that we encounter when we practice our rolling:
1) I cannot say the word "roll over" or Wrigley comes running
2) When I roll her over she tends to throw up all over the place

So our rolling over practice has been messy and complicated. I need to try to prevent the dog from smashing her or jumping on her because the whole rolling over thing riles her up. In addition, Brooke and her playmat become covered in saliva and regurgitated milk ... which also eventually ends up all over me.

On A Better Note
I found a book Brooke likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hopefully someday we will move from eating the book to reading the book.
