How does she do it?

Hannah has been rolling for almost 2 months now.  I’ve written about this.  We thought we found the solution by tucking a rolled up burp rag along her side.  That lasted about 3 weeks.

Then we moved onto something bigger…stuffing a blanket up next to her.  That lasted about a week. 

We knew we needed a bigger barrier.  We rolled up a bath towel with part of it unrolled so she could lay on it and not kick it away.  This worked for about a week.

Today we put her down for a nap.  We put her down un-swaddled (which we’re trying to transition her to). 

(Notice how Jonathan positions her in the crib…and notice the green towel)

We laid her down around 1:45.  At 2:20 she was still making noise.  She wasn’t crying, just talking to herself, so we let her be.  For ten minutes I didn’t hear anything so I went into check on her and see if she finally fell asleep.  I found her like this:

When we went in to check on her she was still fighting it a little…she’d lift her body up, move her head, then collapse back down.  She was just so tired she didn’t care.  She slept for 3 hours.

My fave part is when Jonathan kissed her. A father's love for his daughter... so sweet.

I also love her bald spot.

She is feisty! Just wait until she can roll multiple directions AND tummy to back!

My favorite part was Jonathan's kiss also. I guess it's time to give up on the towel, she is going to find her own sleeping position no matter what.
P.S. Love the bumpers, where did you get your bedding?

Oh my word! You need to install camera's to find out how she really does do that! She only rolls one direction right? Crazy! Man...and then slept 3 hours. Wow. Love the kiss and the bald spot like everyone else.
