Sleeps from 9pm till 7am (sometimes later) except on school days when we wake her at 6am to feed.
Rolls over to her tummy when sleeping
Prefers her left side when rolling
Can sit in a tri-pod alone and almost sits up alone

She brings great joy to our lives

"Hey guys look at me...

I can almost sit up all by myself" I also try to crawl over my boppy pillow when I play on my tummy, you will see below that I tried and I flipped right over the pillow on my face and then continued to play :)

The Twins Graduate

Our last graduation for the season, June 5th, my cousins in St Louis graduated from High School. The whole family (minus Bertha, it was going to be too hot and too much going on for her) traveled to the STL to celebrate!

Tori and Mama in the back seat, she is such a good traveler
