...rolling over!!!
My "baby" is 5 months old today and just started to roll over on Friday. He had his occasional chance rolling overs that surprised us as much as they surprised him, most notably when he was 10 days old. However, this is the first time that he has been able to do it on a consistent basis and on purpose. Great, right?
Yeah, but....he can only roll over one way. What's the big deal you may ask? A little view into our house. I put him down on his back on his play mat to grab at all the pretty dangly things that he loves so much. He sees the dog and presumably think to himself, "I would like to grab that dog's fur and pull on it as hard as I can". So he throws his weight to roll over so that he can get closer to his personal torture puppet. When his victim realizes what's coming, he gets up and moves (sometimes. Sometimes he just takes it like masochist). Then the Lil man is left on his tummy with nothing to look at or play with, so he tries to roll back over and can't. And then all hell breaks loose. This happens every.five.minutes. (replacing the dog for other distractions).
So yes, it's very exciting that he has learned to roll over but this mama will be a whole lot happier when he figures out how to roll BACK over too.
