Diana was just starting to make lunch when Maia ran into the kitchen, excited, "Mom, you have to come here!"
"Is something wrong?" Diana asked, worriedly.
"No," Maia assured her mother, "Bella rolled over, all by herself."
Diana followed Maia into the living room where Bella was laying on her stomach, grinning. Diana sat down in front of the baby, while Maia picked up Bella.
"Roll over again for Mommy," the big sister said as she laid Bella down on her back.
Bella was displeased with this new predicament and kicked her little legs and made what Marco joked was the "Skouris angry face." Though she promptly rolled over and looked at Maia as if to say "Ha, take that."
Diana picked up Bella and sat her in her lap. "Look at you," she cooed, gently tickling Bella's tummy.
The baby laughed as her mother and sister lavished attention on her.
