Rollin' Over, part doi
I stand corrected...Hannah can now roll over. haha. Well, at least for now, we'll call it that. This time, it is from her back to her right side. She's not a fan of the end result and can't lay flat on her tummy when she does it. She still lays on her arm. At any rate, it's progress. There were no photos taken of that today, but I'll get some soon!

Rollin' Over
I was determined to have Hannah reach her "rolling over milestone" by her four month birthday. She did it! All I had to do was put her in a disposable on Tuesday the 10th, and she went right to it. I had put her down for a nap, but her little legs were thumping on the mattress and I thought, "I bet she'd roll over if we tried right now." So, I interrupted her "naptime" to attempt the rolling over and she did it! I'm so proud of my little monkey. Although, I will tell you that I tried to get her to roll over again just a few minutes ago, and she was not interested. I guess she has a mind of her own!
On a side note, we are currently trying to wean her off of sucking her fingers and onto the pacifier. We've been told by multiple sources that later, it will be much easier to get rid of the pacifier and not the fingers. I guess the battle is easier now than later....even though it's still a bit hard now :)

4 month appointment
The stats are in! Miss Hannah weighed in at 13 lbs 11.4 oz. She is 25 inches long, and her big head is 16 1/4 inches. She is at the 50th percentile for weight and 90th for height. She definitely cried when she got her shots, but it was no where near as bad as last time. She's doing well now....she's sleeping! When we got home, she was cheerful and smiley, acting normal :) YAY. I'll be sure to give her some extra lovin' on today :)

Today's Photo Shoot
Hannah almost rolled over yesterday, but those are nakey photos, so I thought I probably shouldn't post them on the internet. I think the cloth diapers hold her back a bit on the whole rolling over process. She gives up too easily. But, when she was naked, she went right to it, and was completely on one side for a second.
So, I threw her in a disposable, and tried again today. I think she might get it eventually. Here are some sweet photos of her today. She'll be 4 months in one week. I'm sure I'll probably do a "4 month photo shoot." Hopefully they will be better than today's.

Our Eventful July
Well I just spend about an hour typing a post and then somehow it got lost as I was trying to upload photos. I supposed that was an hour well spent, right?
Highlights from July:
Momma Chen came for a visit over the Fourth of July! We mostly spent time relaxing around the house, but we did venture down to the Farmers' Market. Of course, no outing is complete without homemade ice cream, right? Thank you Cruze Dairy Farms!
The following weekend, Hannah was able to attend Josh and Sarah Sagraves' Wedding! She actually slept through most of it, which thankfully meant that I got to sit next to my hubby during the ceremony!
Grandma Rita's 80th birthday party weekend in Nashville was next! Rita was tickled (to say the least) to see her first great granddaughter. Of course, we got the 4 generation photo, Momma Jules played peek-a-boo for the first time with Hannah (which she now understands), and Grandpa worked his magic with Hannah as she fell asleep in his arms after a rough day.
Finally, the Drolls came to visit us. Doug and Jenn are a missionary family we met in Romania. We used to babysit their four crazy kiddos. We thoroughly enjoyed our short, but sweet stay with them. Saturday evening, we went with them to another missionary's home, who are temporarily home for the birth of their 3rd child. It was so refreshing to be with other couples that share the same desire to lay down their lives and comforts of this world for the gospel. As a Christian's love for the Savior grows, the attractiveness of this world grows strangely dim and the beauty of Christ shines ever so brightly. When one loves the Savior and is living for eternity with Him, one is eager to lay down their own desires and their lives to tell others of what Christ has done on the Cross. This doesn't always mean going overseas, but for some, it does. If God calls us to go overseas again, we want to go in obedience to Him. Our prayer would be that we wouldn't even consider it a sacrifice in comparison to the sacrifice of Jesus. Oh how we desire to love others and tell them about the Savior's atoning sacrifice for our sin! Let my life but only be, that they might joy in Him with me.
