Rolling Good Time

June has been a month of firsts for lots of things. The main news: Claire is mobile. She's a roller. And, she's fast. The other day, I put her down in the middle of the living room and Shazam! she rolled over to the front door. Today, she almost rolled off the bed. I don't think Oliver is thrilled about this new-found mobility. He can't really hear anymore, so it's somewhat startling to be snoring one minute and then grabbed by a baby lumberjack the next.

At the beginning of the month, Claire was mastering sitting up by herself without the need to surround her with pillows. By the end of the month, she had experienced her first camping trip, first time in a pop-up trailer (same trip), first time "swimming" in a lake, first time swinging in a swing, eating a popsicle, eating corn, peas, green beans, attending swim class, getting dunked under water, and ta da(!). . . her first two teeth. One has actually popped through, and the other one is right on the edge of the ledge. The visible tooth is the littlest thing I've ever seen. It's a miracle it's a tooth.

She's also started talking and laughing more, and sometimes gets hot around the baby collar when you take something away from her. Usually, you can kind of distract her, but not always. Mainly though, she's a fun girl-on-the-go! That's how she rolls.
