The Big Roll

Ethan has always liked to lay on his side, even in the hospital when we'd lay him on his back to sleep he'd roll to his side. In the last few weeks while we've been doing tummy time he has started to roll to his side because he doesn't like being on his tummy much. He'd roll either left of right from his tummy which we were really impressed with, he's such a smart 1 1/2 month old. He also will push with his legs while he's on his tummy, he pushes so hard with his legs that he'll scoot across the mat. First his bum goes up in the air and then he'll start to scoot with his head still planted to the mat. Once he learns how to use those arms of his he'll be moving all over the place. 

Over the weekend he decided he didn't like being on his tummy so much that he'd go ahead and roll all the way over to his back! Yup Ethan has learned how to roll from his tummy to his back already! We're so proud of him, even if he does only do it because he doesn't like being on his tummy. Andy set him down on his tummy in his crib friday morning after a diaper change and left to go wash his hands, when he went back in the room Ethan was on his back and as happy as could be. He called me with all sorts of excitement and we tried it again, this time I grabbed the camera. Yup he did it again, Ethan grunted a bit and then managed to push himself to roll over to his back. It's kinda of a three stage roll. I'll post the video we took when I figure out how to. Our little guy has skipped lifting his head from his tummy and went straight to rolling over. We're so proud him!
