He's FINALLY Rolling Over!!

Christopher finally rolls over! Now, mind you, his development is slightly skewed in that he should have rolled over from belly to back before he could roll over from back to belly, but we'll take what we can get. He tries to roll over from belly to back, but he keeps getting screwed up because he's not supporting his weight enough when he's trying to roll over. He, thus, keeps getting caught up on his elbow which prevents him from succeeding in that task. We'll take the back to belly rollover though...and without reservation. Here's how the story unfolds.

(above) I'm sitting there baiting him with a teething toy (its really cool...vibrates when he bites down on it...craziness)...so here's his first attempt of the day and the first video documentation of the phenomenal event. Unfortunately, when he was finally finished with the gruelling task, we had the business end pointing straight to the camera....what are you gonna do?

So, I tried to get him to roll over with a bit of a better angle. After about 6 tries, he was able to do it again...of course we're always with the positive re-enforcement. We do try not to make it sound like we're talking to a dog, but, unfortunately, sometimes it seems to end up that way....and the funny thing is that he appeared not to care one way or another about the positive re-enforcement and more about the toy.

The prior 6 attempts were thwarted either by losing focus on what we were doing to either watch television or look outside...there was 1 of each of those. The other 4 attempts failed due to the above phenomenon (yeah, unfortunately he's still struggling with the reflux...but this was funny. I'd never seen the Old Faithful before. Craziness.
