Cuteness- Alert! Baby Milestones

Cadence has been smiling for a while...looking totally cute and everything, but I couldn't get her to laugh.  Back on Sept. 15th I was telling my sister-in-law that I never heard her laugh, and then later that afternoon she DID IT.  I was pinning her arms up and tickling her armpits with my nose, and I heard a chuckle, then another, and another.  "Quick, Mark!  Get this on video!  These are her first laughs!"

Here's the video

I've been able to get her to laugh a bit harder more recently, but nothing works 100% of the time I try it.  Hopefully she will be laughing more and more in the months to come. :)

On Sept. 29th Cadence rolled over from tummy to back for the first time.  Ok, so she's been doing it for a while in her sleep, but I figure it was because she's all swaddled and can't get her hands free...and she kicks herself over using her legs.  Last Saturday she was playing in the baby gym and Mark watched as she flipped over.  Then, the next day she rolled from back to front.  This whole week she's been a little wiggle worm.  I lay her in one position in the gym, and when I come back to her a few minutes later she's in a completely different position, facing a different direction.  This morning I saw her roll a couple times and found Canon's toy hammer, grabbed it, and started gnawing on it.  I'm not certain that she was rolling to get to the hammer or if it just happened to be there when she was done rolling... but one thing is for certain.  She's learning to be mobile, and I have to be careful where I lay her down now.  She's not safe in her car seat on the floor unless we strap her in.  She squirmed her way out of it at the dentist office the other day!  I can hardly believe she's growing so fast!  :)

Oh yeah, and she's starting to grab things and put them in her mouth too.
Hopefully the binky will be one of those things soon...
so I don't have to fetch it for her in the middle of the night anymore.
