rollin'...ROLLIN'....rollin'...ROLLIN'

That's right, you guessed it, this boy can roll over! And we're not just talking accidental oops rolls, we're talking it's his new favorite thing to do!

You might remember from an earlier post that Landon had rolled from tummy to back a total of 3 times. Ironically enough, he still doesn't like to roll that way very much and has probably only done it 2 more times.

However, he's rolling from back to stomach like it's going out of style! It was definitely a process of figuring out just how to do it. First he looked pretty much like this:


He would get sooooooo close, but then couldn't quite get over that pesky arm in the way, and he'd give up and fall back over. And over. And over again. 

Thankfully our boy is not easily deterred! So after lots and lots of determined tries, he finally got something like this:


Actually, that one was pretty smooth compared to the first couple times he rolled over (sadly didn't get the first time on video. In fact, I didn't even see it, only Kyle did. *Insert scowl* Only fair considering I was the only one to see his first 3 tummy to back roll overs, I suppose)

But practice makes perfect, and practice he did! In fact, I think he's just so pleased with himself that he figured out how to roll over, that he just does it all the time to feel good about himself. Now every time I lay him on the ground, I turn around & he's rolled himself right over! Doesn't even need a toy as bribery anymore! Here's his very smooth roll over from this morning:


Aren't you impressed? He sure is :)

Oh wow! Isabelle doesn't do that at all! I just don't think she's interested in rolling...she has a few times, but she seems pretty content to stay either on her back or on her tummy. Go Landon!!

And go Tracy for the awesome new blog design!!
