Rolling, Baby Clothes, and Leap Years

Saturday evening I was in Dallas' room making his bed and getting everything ready for him to sleep. Chelane, Dallas, and Cam were in the family room (just down the hall). Chelane was crying because it was her tummy time. She has no problem being on her stomach as long as it isn't for longer than a minute or two. She had been on her stomach for a while now with us coaxing her to roll over. Cam started yellng to me that Chelane had rolled over, I rushed out and immediatly and put Chelane back on her tummy. She wasn't too thrilled about that but did humor me enough to roll over again. She has stubbornly insisted on not rolling over since.

Also Chelane is now wearing 6-9 month onsies and sleepers. I also had to put her in a 6-9 month dress for church on Sunday, her 3-6 ones are just too small now. Yes, she was born September 30th, she is only four months old (plus a week or two). My little baby is getting so big. Thede larger clothes are drowning her as far as width goes, she really only needs the length.

On an entirely different note, last night at dinner Mom was asking about Friday the 13th birthdays (the question hd stemmed from the observation that we will have two Friday the 13th's this year). I knew I as born on a Tuesday (don't know why I have remembered that, but there you go) so we started counting around years and days of the week (it sure makes it easy knowing that a day moves forward one day of the week each year... I wonder why that is). I calculated that my birthday this year is on a thursday, so my 25th birthday (next year) will be on Friday the 13th. It also seems that my 75th birthday will be as well... So I am wondering if it will be on a 50 year cycle. If that is true then since my Friday the 13th birthdays so far have been turing 8 and 14, it should also happen at 64 and 58... however, I haven't tested this hypothesis yet...

Did you factor in leap years? Heather was born on Friday the 13th... and life makes sense.

Oh yeah I meant to mention that I was factoring in leap years. In fact, as I was, I was noticing that the leap years tend to make my birthday skip of Friday more than its fair share.
