I’m not trying to brag or anything…

…But our pediatrician says Louisa is advanced.

I mean, only in physical strength which she got entirely from her father, but I’ll take it.

This baby will literally fight us when she doesn’t want to be held or go to sleep. Like contorts her body HARD to try and wriggle away. She also rolls. Only from belly to back so far, but STILL. My personal favorite trick is her bassinet work. She squirms her way to sides so she can press her face as hard as she possibly can against the mesh. And as of last night, she has learned to do full 360s! Like, I put her down facing one way. Wake up in the middle of the night and she’s the other way. Wake up in the morning & we’re back to square one. We’re skipping walking and potty training entirely and going straight to the Olympics.

One day I’ll get a life & stop talking about my baby.
