Little dude actually rolled from his tummy to his back tonight! I thought babies usually did back to tummy first (Madison certainly did anyway). He had been getting pretty close for awhile now and he was laying in his playpen, just woken up from a nap. Curtis and I were actually talking about how close he was getting when I looked over and he was on his back! Neither of us even saw it happen, but he had the biggest grin when we went over to him. He was so proud of himself! Then he tried to go right back. He got all of his body over, but couldn't, or wouldn't (I'm not sure) go over his shoulder. He looked quite content to lay there on his side with his leg flung over. What a big boy! He's been napping on his tummy for a couple of weeks now (still on his back at night and will stay that way until he figures out to flip himself), and I think that has a lot to do with the incredible progress he has made as far as neck and shoulder strength. He can lift his head way up high now... chest and all! I was so worried that he wasn't going to reach that milestone on time... he showed me, I guess. He is still favoring the left, but doesn't cry out quite as much when I stretch him to the right. He gets more mad than in pain now. Little Miss Independent gave me such a look Sunday when I was leaving her in Sunday School and asked if she was going to be fine. She just looked at me like duh! It was the first time at a new church, so I just wanted to be sure. She loved it, though, and can't wait to go back there. I enjoyed the service too, so we will be back. Well, it's super late, and I am pretty tired. Good night! K
