Our little Drama Queen

Jessica has recently learned how to cough....not because she has a cold, not because she's choking on milk or saliva from teething, but just because she can. I read in one of my books that infants will cough for attention and/or entertainment once they realize they can...and Jess definitely has! At first we thought it was due to teething, but now she just coughs for fun, and smiles while she's doing it. It's actually really cute - our little drama queen striving for attention with her fake coughs.

She is also really trying to roll over - we're giving her more back and tummy time so she has more time to practice. She turns right on her side and reaches for toys but she just can't get that last little bit yet. It's quite amazing to watch her - she can lie on her back for 30 minutes just trying to roll over, and usually ends up pivoting 360 degrees on the spot! Many times over the past week we have found her in her crib with her head where her feet used to be...180 degrees from where we put her down! We'll definitely be watching her closely for this next milestone.

Anyway, here are a couple photos from this past week...it sure is fun dressing her up in cute girly clothes other than a sleeper! =)

Oh cute, I can just imagine her and her little cough. Funny Kayliegh just started that this week too :) Little drama queen's they are indeed.

Maybe it's a girl's thing 'cause my dds did that too. LOL :D

But if you want real drama queen's activity, wait until she start practice her crying in front of a mirror! ;D My oldest dd (which is my drama queen) used to watch herself in the mirror and practice her crying face, probably trying to find the most effective one! LOL

What sweet photos! And yes, I do remember the fake coughing from my boys... it was just a neat sound they could make with their voices, and it got lots of attention! LOL
