Roll Over

My girls were gone for half a week and I already notice changes. Magda is now 9 months old and while shee'd been occasionally turning over, she now learned that you can get places if you continuously roll over.

So she no longer can be put in one place and expected to stay. When Magda reaches for something from sitting position and gets on her belly, she easily turns around and then rolls (not necessarily where she entended to, but she doesn't seem to mind).

She's still working on the crawling thing -- right now when she's on her belly and wants to get to a toy in front of her, she tries crwaling but actualle ends up scooting backward to her frustration. She'll figure out how to utilize her legs soon enough.

Her two lower teeth are now clearly visible and she eats with great gusto (I was skeptical when Jennifer cooked up and froze a huge amount of split peas, but now I believe that Magda'll get through all of them).

She also babbles up a storm, although nothing yet recognizeable. But she clearly recognizes her own name and when you call her from across the room (either "Magda!" or the Czech "Magdalénko!") she turns to you and pays attention.
