I Witnessed a Roll-Over!





As I was changing her diaper, I noticed she was really flinging herself to the side, so I ran to get the camera. She managed to roll herself to her tummy, but her arm was stuck. She was able to unhook it and it was straight at her side. She got a bit upset at this, so I tapped her arm to remind her that it was there. She then swung it around so her palm was flat on the mattress. A full roll-over! After this she played with the crib bars for a while on her stomach, and then she flipped herself onto her back again. What a feat!

After this, I witnessed her do it again with the next diaper change, but this time much faster. She managed to fully roll over in the time it took me to go and wash my hands and wet some cloths. This time she seemed to be determined to get somewhere and was scooting herself forward slightly on her stomach! I had to grab my baby book to check when they should be crawling! Not for a couple months it says, but then again it also says that at 4 months babies lack significant strength to roll from their backs to their tummies, and that it takes a while before they develop that ability. "HA!" Paige says.

Not that I thought she was close to crawling, but it tells me that it won't be long!!!
