Rolling the other way

I have lots of updates to get to this week, but first I have to share Owen's new skill. The little guy managed to start rolling from front to back when he was just a few days old, but it took him a while longer to master going from back to front. In fact, it was his Christmas project, and he worked on it for days.

First, he'd get up on his side, but couldn't get any farther. Then he'd get his top leg down on the floor, but couldn't get himself over his bottom arm. Next he got up on the side and turned his head all the way around as he tried to build up some momentum, but still got stuck on that arm. Finally, on Sunday he gave himself the necessary last nudge and got himself over to his front.

He's now a pro and rolled at least four times today. I got one of them on video -- as you can see, he's pretty proud of himself!

Isn't it amazing how integral the huge noggin is in getting the proper weight shift! Too cute!
