Carly isn't turning over a new leaf, but she is rolling over in both directions while in her crib. On Tuesday morning I woke up to find that she had done a complete 180 degree turn in her crib. Then as I traveled to her watched her (via the monitor) turn onto her belly. By the time I arrived in her room she was back on her back. Today during both of her naps I found her on her belly, after being placed on her back originally.
The past seven days have been HUGE for out little girl. She now sits straight up and selects a toy within her reach to play with, then will put it aside and select another toy (toppling only on occasion). She also is now rolling front to back and back to front by choice or out of something "fun" to do.
In addition, she is rotating around in a circle while on her belly. I sat behind her yesterday during tummy time and she began playing with a toy in front of her. She slowly rotated herself as her hands rotated the toy. She then caught sight/feeling of my leg and rotated herself around so that she was facing me and had both of her hands on my leg (as if she were trying to crawl up me). She isn't anywhere near ready to crawl, but she is working hard to get her legs up under her. At the moment her effort results in her rolling over. I guess some movement from this action is good, although it isn't the movement she is trying for.
Samuel is a great roller. He can sit but still topples over ALL the time but it doesn't really bother him. Doesn't have his knees under him yet. Just got two more teeth. That makes six. Love, Aunt Bubble
