Rollin...

This little girl has learned to roll! At first when I put her down for tummy time I thought she had rolled out of pure anger. She got so mad and was crying and sniffling and grunting and groaning and I figured that she just happened to have her knee in the right spot as she lifted her head and shoulders up and over. But I put her on the floor (I had had her tummy time on the couch previously because it was softer but figured if she really had figured out how to roll that rolling off the couch would not be such a good thing, so moved her to the floor) to try again. And lo and behold, there she went. Not once, not twice, but three times!!! And she wasn't really that mad this time. So I had also learned that babies like tummy time on cushions, so I put down my nursing pillow and propped her on the pillow on her tummy. What happened? She rolled herself off the pillow. I caught her before her head hit the ground (which was really only a couple of inches...but still....) and decided that tummy time on the pillow has to be very well supervised. Not sure where this ranks on the milestone scale, but it's pretty neat to see.

First shiny objects, second rolling from tummy to back by oneself....next...the world!!!!
