stomach sleeper

So last night, for the first time ever, Penny slept on her belly all night long. Sometimes she would fall asleep partially on her belly, sometimes all the way on her belly, and I'd always turn her over after she fell asleep so she'd be on her back. Last night, she must have turned over completely at some point and when we woke up this morning, she was on her belly, sound asleep.

Now, this is something I was afraid of. All the "pros" tell you that back is best and whatnot. But really, how bad is the belly? She spends so much time on her belly now that she's figured out how to roll over, so she's quite used to it now and actually seems upset if we put her on her back. She used to HATE LOATHE DESPISE tummy time so it's weird to see this complete change in her.

There are lots of changes in her lately. She's so curious about the world around her. Touching things purposefully now and trying to figure out what they are. Feeling the textures of everything with the tips of her tiny fingers. It's so cute to watch.

She also wants to crawl, like, REALLY BAD. She's pushing her tiny tush in the air and scooting her way around. If she wants to get somewhere, she'll get there! I like that about her, she's determined for sure.

She's so awesome. She's going to be 5 months old in a few days. Strange how times flies.
