Going Against the Grain

He did it!

I have been anxious for Sullivan to roll over for the past couple of weeks. I have been putting him on his tummy several times each day and he gets so mad. He looks up and around and does great for about 2 minutes before becoming frustrated, and if you know how Dave and I have been parenting, you know we are not very good about letting him cry :). He is definitely a first baby, it seems his needs are met before he even realizes he has them, this will probably come back to bite us in the end, oh well!

Back to the point, I had been reading about how babies generally roll from tummy to back before doing the opposite, which is what we were working for, however, Sully had a different agenda. We returned to Coronado after a busy day in San Diego, we spent the morning shopping followed by lunch at the Prado in Balboa Park, and then a tour of The Air and Space Museum for Sully and daddy. I immediately put him down on the floor when we got to the condo. I knew he would love to stretch and kick on his own after being carried for most of the day. I started to get some laundry ready when Dave yelled to me to come out and see what he had done. Sure enough, he rolled from his back to his tummy... then got stuck. So, we are half way there, we just need to figure our the rest. Until then, we are so proud of our little roller :).
