This Is How I Roll, Pt 2 – Back To Front and Back Again

by Maile Girl on December 3, 2009

It’s amazing how time flies. Four months ago I was having a little trouble keeping my big ol’ head up.

Now look at me!

Look at me now!

How you like me now?!

But that’s not all – I have a milestone to share. When I was in Boston, I decided to unveil a new trick I’ve been working on. I tried it out for the first time with Grandpa Mike – he was watching me and I just started rolling over. I started on my back, went to my front and then back to my back! Rolling is fun and useful too – I’ve learned that by rolling I can finally reach the toys that mommy and daddy leave just out of my reach.

Here’s my very first roll from 4 months ago (almost to the day):

And here’s what I can do now!

(Dad note: This rolling stuff is no joke. Maile did it for the first time on Sunday and now every time we put her down it seems like she is off rolling somewhere. This morning we put her down on her play mat, turned away for a minute and she was halfway across the room! So no more leaving Maile alone on her play mat – definitely an interesting new wrinkle to Maile’s development. PS – how crazy are those old videos – hard to believe that was only 4 months ago!)
