Firsts

Today some friends of ours threw a party to reveal the gender of their unborn baby. There was colored cake, ice cream, and games (some of you will remember when Craig and I threw a similar party). One of the games we played was "Baby Family Feud," complete with such baby-minded questions as "What event don't parents want to miss?" Most of the answer revolved around "firsts:" first steps, first words, etc.

Well, we've had a lot of firsts today. Most notably, Evelyn rolled over for the first time! We're pretty certain it was an accident, but still. She was laying on her back on our bed and Craig held out his arms and said, "Come to Daddy!" And much to his surprise, she did! (Well, she tried.) She rolled from her back onto her side towards him; the softness of the bed pushed her on over to her belly--much to her chagrin.

Today we also (finally!) managed to capture our sweet little bird's precious laugh on camera. We've been trying for a couple weeks now, but she stops as soon as she sees a camera. She's quite the giggle box, as you can see. We even grabbed a good clip of her belly laugh in this clip! (And oh yeah--our friends are having a boy: Gabriel John.)
