Nothing like a good case of the hiccups to get a few giggles on camera :)

Yay Makael!!
Little man is really growing up. Our bedtime routine consists of me feeding him and then laying him in his crib awake and on his belly. He typically turns his head from side to side a few times before settling in and dozing off. I fully expected to see that last night, but instead of settling in to his favorite position, he put his arms under his chest and propped himself up. Not only did he exercise perfect head control, he then proceeded to throw himself over onto his back. What?! When did he learn how to roll over? It wasn't even a struggle for him...it was like he had been doing it for weeks. I considered that it might have just been a fluke so I tried it again...and again he propped himself up and rolled onto his back. He's a pro!
We've been practicing some more today, and at one point he leaned forward, put his little butt up in the air and scooted himself forward...I'm thinking we might have an early crawler on our hands.
I think it's funny that he's so blond you can't even see his hair in the video.

Big White Dog
Woah...two posts in one day...crazy I know.
Really I just have a short story about Gemma.
Yesterday morning (Sunday) Elly and I were out for a run and found a dog. She followed us for quite a while so it was clear she was lost. We got scared she was going to get ran over when we crossed the street so we called her over. She was so sweet! Elly determined she was an Australian Shephard, and while she was wearing a collar, we didn't see any tags. We decided the best thing to do was to take her home and call the humane society..but of course it's closed on Sundays. So the sweet dog spend the rest of the day and night with us. She was incredibly smart and sweet, and I decided that if no one claimed her that I was going to keep her. How great to find a trained, sweet, and smart dog that's great with kids! Unfortunately after a trip to the humane society we found out her name was Clara, and she did in fact have an owner. How sweet of a name is Clara!? The owner called me and shortly after came to pick Clara up. I was so relieved that the ower was a super sweet lady and Clara could not have been more excited to see her. I guess the family went out of town and accidentally left the gate open. Gemma was especially nice to the lady. The second she walked through the door, Gemma began telling her about our Christmas tree and how she had just broken an ornament. I don't think I've ever seen Gemma open up to someone so quickly. Once I told her the lady was here to get the dog, she grabbed the lady's hand and said "common, I show you"....The lady was quite taken by Gemma as well. After a million "thank you's" from the owner, we watched Clara leave. Surprisingly Gemma started crying and telling the dog to come back...break my heart!! When we walked back inside, Gemma stated she wanted to get a "big dog that's white".
We retold the whole story to David when he came home from work, and at the end of it Gemma cheerfully added she wanted a small black dog. Hahaha. I guess we might just have to get her a dog soon....and it might just be a big white dog or a little black dog.
