The Rolling Process

When I was pregnant, I was amazed at how difficult it was to roll over. I joked about it being a multi-step process to making my swollen body go from laying on my left side to my right. It was one of the little things in life that I didn't appreciate how easy it was for me. Sometimes now when I roll over at night, I giggle remembering how hard it was for me. I didn't realize that that was the second time in my life that rolling was a major ordeal, until now.

Learning to roll over is hard. Barrett has mastered it, but he still has to think about his steps. You can see him thinking as he rolls! I thought you might like a look into his latest trick.

First, he lays happily on his back lifting his feet in the air.

Next, he flings his legs to the side.

Then, he rolls all the way on his tummy. He always has an issue with the arm stuck under his body. Sometimes, he gives up and rolls back, sometimes, he figures it out.

This time he decided to try. He fussed for a while trying to yank his arm out from under him.

He was then successful! Every time he completes a roll, he'll hold his head up and you can tell he's proud of himself. (Maybe it's our cheering!)
