Over He Goes

I don't mean to brag. Really, I don't.

But my wonderful, clever, amazingly precocious two-month-old son can now roll over.

It's incredible how such a seemingly simple act can cause so much excitement. I've seen three other little ones reach their baby milestones, but yesterday was just as much fun as the first "roll over" experience with Beth, 6 years ago.

Brian does "tummy time" each day, and he's been getting stronger and stronger. He can now lift his entire trunk up when he pushes on his elbows. But I was completely unprepared for him to push...push...push onto his side, and then...PLOP! right onto his back. The shocked look on his face was very funny to see, and we all cheered loudly for Brian's accomplishment. I turned him back over onto his tummy to see if he could repeat the feat, and he did it easily. He's now rolling like a champ, and Daddy was quite proud of his big strong boy when we displayed his talent last night.

Unfortunately, today he had to go to the pediatrician's for his two-month shots (a little late because of the RSV). He had to get 4 shots, and is now a bit cranky and tired. A warm bath seems to have eased his discomfort, but I'm not sure that he's in the mood to do much exercise today.

But by tomorrow, he will probably be crawling.
