One of V's favorite games right now is rolling a ball. [Passwords to all videos on this page is her name, no caps. Yes, this is a spelling test, her name ends with -ian.]
She is rolling more and more; it is definitely not safe to place her on a bed anymore. I'm having trouble nursing her in bed because she likes to roll off and check out the objects on the nightstand. I guess it isn't unusual but I'm surprised by her complete lack of self-preservation instinct; I'll be holding her half on the bed and she's still trying to roll further to reach whatever has piqued her interest.
From a sitting position, she launches her self forward and ends up with one leg stuck underneath her. If she's feeling up to it, she can push herself forward to lie flat on her tummy; otherwise she just complains until someone comes to rescue her.
And she does seem to want a lot of rescuing these days. My actions are suddenly important-- she cries when I leave the room or walk by her and she remembers she wants me to hold her. Although she gives lots of smiles to her grandparents, nanny, sisters and Daddy, it seems that she has distinguished me from the hordes and knows she can get me to pick her up if she squeaks enough. I think I've been encouraging it; since she is a single baby, it isn't often difficult for me to tote her around. And since I'm usually distracted with the big girls, I don't want to listen to her fuss.
Here are some older videos of Adi and Mae playing with her.

Hilarious video (and I'm glad I passed the spelling test.)
Just watch out--with Ella, I was still carrying her on my hip at 1 1/2. Turns out that's not so good for your back. But when you're juggling other kids, it's just always easiest to give the youngest what they're squawking for! Of course, then you have to either indulge them for life or break the habit!
