On Dec 27th Rebecca was 7 months old. And on that day, she FINALLY rolled over all by herself!
I wish I had it on video. It was SO exciting! She's done it a couple of times since then, and she'll do it if you gently begin to push her leg across her body, but usually she's quite content to stay on her back if you lay her down that way.
She's also putting weight on her legs a bit more willingly. The physical therapist will be thrilled when we see her next, I'm sure!
With each new skill she accomplishes I become a little less concerned about her development. She seems to be able to do what she should be doing, just a little bit slower at learning to use her muscles for some reason.
So we're home now (Grandma and Grandpa brought us back yesterday afternoon). Rachel and Rebecca are still coughing up a storm, but are acting fairly normal. And they're both sleeping better (which means I'm sleeping better). It's been a rough several days, though, with such little sleep. One night while we were at Grandma's house Rachel woke up every 20-30 minutes until about 2:30 AM (she then slept until about 7:30). And then Rebecca woke up at 2:40....so there was very little sleep for me that night. Thankfully Rachel only woke up once last night and Rebecca slept all night, so I'm feeling a little more rested today. I'm still hoping to take them to the doctor this morning.
EDITED TO ADD: We went to the doctor and they both have an ear infection. Now here's hoping the good ol' pink medicine will wipe it all out quickly and we can all get some SLEEP!!

Yay for Rebecca's rolling!
I had to take Luke this week for an ear infection, too, the night before we left for our trip. The good news was that we started the meds before we left, but i think he had been working on it for several nights, and our Christmas week was quite sleepless as well. I hope we are all on the road to recovery!
