I have mentioned a few times that Laurel hadn't yet rolled over. She is five and a half months old now, and I felt like she was slightly behind schedule with this milestone. I'm not sure what I was basing this feeling on, however, because as soon as I looked it up I discovered that while some kids roll over earlier, especially from front to back, rolling from back to front around five or six months old isn't uncommon.
Anyway, she finally did it on Friday! She rolled from back to front while she was playing on the living room floor with Craig and Isaac. I was in the other room, so I missed it.
But she did it several more times today, as if to prove that she can do it intentionally. (She did it so many times that I had no trouble catching it on video.) And while lying on her back later today, she grabbed ahold of her feet for the first time. Finally, when I woke up this morning I found that overnight she had worked her arms free from the swaddling blanket.
It's been a big day for physical accomplishments.
