So our darling Evie Lu has mastered the art of turning from her back to her stomach. She actually seems to prefer being on her stomach, but it could be she just doesn't know how to roll back over. We had not really worried too much about her rolling over until last week.
While we were staying at Bruce and Terry's in Billings, we found Evie Lu had rolled over in her porta-crib and had fallen asleep on her belly. No big deal right? Wrong! We were told from day one that babies need to sleep on their backs for safety reasons. So, what should we do?
We decided to let her sleep as she was, turn the baby monitor all the way up, and check on her every 10 minutes or so. I would go in to check on her and would watch Evie Lu's back to see it rise and fall with her breathing. To cap it off she now is no longer using a pacifier (well, not much) since she's found her thumb. There is always something to worry about. Whew.

Seriously - once they can choose their own sleeping position - leave them alone!!! They sleep like rocks on their tummies (at least mine do) You guys have a cutie on your hands!

She looks pretty peaceful! Being a thumb sucker for a few years of my life, I know that was the best way to sleep ever! :) ah, I miss my youth...
I can't believe she's rejected the pacifier for her thumb. Pacifiers are the way of the world, man. If the mean wood pile hadn't eaten mine right before kindergarten, I would totally still be using it.
...so on second thought, maybe it's a good thing she's passed it up.
