Today you rolled...

You were rolling onto your side before you were 2 months old.

You were rolling onto your front before you were 3 months old.

But then you got stumped. You could get on to your front, but how do you get that damn arm out from underneath yourself? That was the problem! Everytime you tried to pull it free you ended up rolling yourself back the way you came :P

So, last week (with the help of holding on to my finger to tether yourself down) you managed to get all the way over and get your arm out. It was assisted. It didn't count :(

A day or two later, I was busy in the kitchen and came back in to you on your tummy with both your arms free, flapping around like a seal, whining for my attention. I didn't see it happen. It didn't count :(

Earlier this week your big strong arms finally managed to get you into a mini push-up position and hold you up.

So today when you rolled, you got on your front and freed your arm. I got the camera. And then you just kept on going.... roly poly-ing back onto the other side. You looked so pleased with yourself.

I was a little bit gutted. I'd missed the start. I've wanted to blog about you rolling for ages and was just waiting to capture you in the act. That was it, we had to try again...

So after 9 WHOLE MINUTES of patience, crawling around you on the blanket and coaxing you to reach for various toys, I got it!!!!!! A full sequence of pictures of you demonstrating your new skill ;)

Back to front..... and back again. Age: 15 weeks, 2 days old xx
