All night in the crib!

Lolli went to bed at 8 last night without a peep. When Zach and Lauren went to bed at 10:30, they decided to leave Lolli in her crib to see how long it'd be before she woke up and wanted to come to bed. Well, it's now 7:06 the next morning and Lolli is STILL snoozing in her crib! So tonight is the first time in her whole life that she slept all by herself all night long. She's all grown up! Luckily Lolli's crib is still in Zach and Lauren's room, so they were able to hear her breathing so they weren't up all night worrying that she'd died in there or something!

Zach and Lauren will probably try again tonight, but who knows if lighting will strike twice ;)

"Baby!"

For some reason, Lolli calls Molly "Baby." This morning around 6:45 (when Molly usually shows up) Lolli woke up, said "Baby?" and then went back to sleep when Lauren told her Molly isn't coming today. Haha!

Lolli Can Read!

Lolli got a new book and it repeats, "Ooooooooo snuggle puppy of mine" on every other page. Lauren had only read Lolli the book twice before she figured out the the "Oooooooooooo" was the part that made of "oooh" sound. Now she flips through the book all by herself, pointing to the "oooooooo" and saying "ooh ooh." Lauren's been sleeping in a t-shirt that says 2007 Lactation Station and Lolli likes to point to every 0 and o on the shirt and said "ooh ooh." And today at Grandma's, Lolli was coloring with markers. She started writing circles and saying, "ooh ooh." Very impressive!!!

ROA

Based on where she's feeling bulges, flutters, and kicks, Lauren believe the baby is head down in a right occiput anterior (ROA) position!

ROA (or maybe ROT or ROP)!

Zach and Lauren did a quick "belly mapping" of Lauren's tummy this evening. They both agreed the baby's back is definitely on Lauren's right side. Lauren feels the most kicks in the top right of her tummy, as well, so they think the baby's back is turned slightly towards Lauren's back. Zach was even able to find the baby's head and hold it in his hands by feeling around right above Lauren's pubic bones! Awesome :)
