So it was a pretty big weekend in Evie land. The biggest development is that she finally learned to roll from her front to her back! Of course all babies in the world learn this first before learning to roll back to front, but I guess she is a little different. Well, unlike when she learned to roll back to front, once she figured this out she kept with it. So probably the first day she learned how to do it she did it like 6 times. Now she can roll back / front / back / front all the way across a room!
She also kind of waved bye-bye. My mom and sister were leaving and we were all fake grinning and waving and saying “bye bye!” like idiots for about 10 minutes and then all of a sudden Evie waved! And then we all just looked at each other like, “Did she just do that?” so we all started waving madly again and she did it again. Of course we have tried a million times since then and I don’t think she really gets it, but hey, it is a start.
Along the same lines, we were trying to test her to see if she knows her name. In a constant tone of voice we were saying, “Door knob! Purple Shirt! Nala! Evie!” and sure enough she seemed to look only when you said Evie. Of course, on later trials she responded to Fart Face, so again I’m not really convinced it wasn’t a coincidence.
