Update

Esther's latest big trick is rolling over from her back to her tummy! She started this about a week before she turned 5 months old. At first she did it one time when we weren't looking. Then the next morning when Dad went in to get her she was on her tummy! After that, she was rolling over several times a day. The problem is, Esther can't roll back over from her tummy to her back, and she doesn't like being on her tummy for too long before she starts crying. The last two nights she has been waking up several times a night after rolling over on her tummy and crying until Mom or Dad come in to rock her back to sleep. Both Mom and Dad are really tired. Dad is super-tired since he is still going to work all day long. Hopefully this is just another 7-10 day phase like when she started teething and it will pass.
Mom and Esther are leaving on Saturday to go to Texas to visit Molly's cousin, Alicia. They will be there until next Wednesday afternoon. Dad will probably go visit his parents to have someone to keep him company while he misses his wife and little girl.
