Roll Over, Roll Over

with 3 comments

J went to the doctor’s yesterday to ask about the wheeze Scerlett still has after her croup. Unfortunately the doctor was so busy she has to wait until next week. She did ,however, get the girls weighed. And guess what? Jemima is now the biggest!

Their weights stand at:

Jemima – 17lb 2oz
Scarlett – 16lb 15oz
Evelyn – 16lb 5oz

No wonder carrying all three up two stories to bed is so exhausting.

While I’m relaying stats, I may as well record that Jemima also has the most teeth now. She has two, Scarlett has one (although it is the biggest) and one almost through, and poor Evie, none at all.

Evie’s made up for this by becoming the first to master rolling back from her front. She did it this morning when only J was there but must have passed on the secret because it was Jemima who was rolling around like crazy when I took over. I was so impressed (or should that be terrified) at her new mobility, I set the camera up and took a new picture each time she changed position…

As you can see, Jemima has yet to realise she can move any distance from her original spot when she rolls. I’m sure it won’t be long though.
