on a roll!

i wasn't sure i believed the doctor when he said miles might roll over any day. but sure enough, yesterday, at exactly 2 months old to the day, miles rolled from his tummy to his back!

he was taking a nap in his crib on his tummy. i had placed him laying across the short side of the crib and covered him with a light blanket. i then seized the opportunity to take a shower! i heard him start to fuss on the monitor, but i went ahead and finished my shower and got dressed before going in to get him. when i did, i sure was surprised! he had kicked the blanket off and turned himself to lay the long side of the crib....and was on his back! he didn't seem to thrilled about this as he much prefers his tummy. i was so proud. :)

i wanted to see him do it! i laid him on our bed and sat down next to him. he immediately flipped to his back, but i suspected my weight had assisted him, haha. so i put him in his pack n play and turned on the video camera. and took 8 minutes of video until our camera memory card was full. he fussed but did not roll over. o well.

lest you think this was a mere accident, you do need to know that miles repeated his new skill today. again he was laying on his tummy in his crib and taking a nap. when he woke up i didn't go get him immediately, hoping he would fall back asleep. but no. so i went to get him and again he had shed his blanket, turned himself 90 degrees to the left, and....flipped to his back.

i can't wait to catch him in the act! if i can catch it on video, i will certainly share it with you as well.
