When we finally arrived at the ranch, it was around ten on Friday night. Cote was still pretty grouchy. So much so in fact that every time she saw Papa Ray's face she cried! Poor thing was rather distraught. I felt terrible for Papa, but he was understanding.
Saturday was a little bit better. We did not do much because I had a lot of homework, but we did go to town for our meals. Each time we were at a restaurant Cote sure perked up. Acting like a little ham, Cote gabbed away the whole time, making all kinds of noises. Everyone seemed to love it!! She also made progress with Papa. On that day she let him pick her up, but he could not walk out of range of Mommy or risk upsetting her!!
However Miss Cote got on quite well with Uncle Chase! Every time she saw him she smiled a big 'ol gummy smile!! The two of them would talk and giggle!! In the car, Cote would not take her eyes of him!! I'd say she was rather smitten by Uncle Chasey!! It was amazing, and I think it made Chase feel pretty special which is great!!
Sunday morning we went to town for breakfast before heading back home. Before we left we took some pictures together! When Dad joined me, Cote and Chase for a picture, Cote squealed with excitement when she saw him!! It was priceless! And she let Papa hold her and love on her without any fussing!! They made great progress, and the trip ended happily!!
This week was also pretty full of excitement!! Grandpa left for the week for work, so it was just Cote and Mommy all week. She still fights the bottle, but Cote hit a milestone a daycare this week!!
Monday night she was trying really hard to roll over, and at day care on Tuesday she did it!! TWICE!! Her teachers said she tried so hard to get to her belly, but once she made it she completely panicked!! They said that was odd because usually a baby rolls over because they want to be on their tummy. Oh well!
So i had hoped that she would roll over again at home, but that did not happen. She did at daycare though on Thursday. Then, when we were at Ya-Ya's house on Thursday afternoon, I was trying to get her to roll over by singing the "roll over" song. (You know.. there were ten in the bed, and the little one said roll over. roll over. so they all rolled over, and one fell out. there were nine in the bed...) But instead of rolling over she started to sing along! Truly! By the time I got to five she was singing roll over (without her lips or tongue.) It was the most amazing thing!!
When we finally made it home, she conked out!! Little Miss Marie slept from 5:30 pm to 8:30 am, waking only to eat. And we have been taking it easy ever since!!
