The Fast and the Furious

Genevieve recently started rolling over on a regular basis. She had proven her skills quite some time ago but never really got into rolling over. Now she rolls over non-stop. It is no longer safe to leave her unattended on anything other than the floor. She can roll over so quickly that she has almost rolled off the bed a few times.

She has also been very testy lately. Carrie says it is because she has started teething. She has an upper and lower incisor coming in. The upper seems to be coming quicker than the lower but neither have erupted yet. I'm not sure I agree with Carrie's conclusion. Genevieve has been cranky and testy all along. I don't think this latest bout of crying is any different than the last bunch. Either Carrie is an apologist for our daughter or babies just go from one screaming hardship to another.

This afternoon she learned how to zerbert. Due to a strange series of events involving her falling, crawling, screaming and spitting all at once she ended up on my forearm making a clear zerbert noise. This caused us to laugh uproariously. She was very proud of herself for making us laugh and tried to do it again. Genevieve not knowing exactly how to repeat the performance began to franticly mash her face against my arm blowing as hard as she could. She managed to zerbert me 3 more times before tiring of the whole affair.
