Drew's Rollover

A few weeks ago, Michelle put Drew down on the couch for some tummy time, under proper adult supervision, and he rolled over. Now Drew rolled over when he was younger, but more out of anger for having put him on his stomach than out of actually knowing what he wanted to do. He had also done it with a little help from Michelle, but this was the first time he was just plain happy and wanted to roll over. After it happened once I told Michelle I wanted her to take him off the couch and put him on the ground in case the soft couch was helping him. I wanted to prove he could do it for real, so we placed him on the ground and he rolled three more time. We took this video of him doing it for his third time. Please be patient. When I played it back for Michelle, she thought we just sounded crazy during the whole thing. I got the same response from my co-workers when I showed them the video.




In the video he was getting tired, but with the words of encouragement from his parents he used as much energy as he could and completed the tast. We are so proud of him. Michelle wanted so much to be able to tell the doctor at Drew's four month appointment that he could roll over and now she can. Drew might be a little smaller than most kids his age, but he's not letting his challenges in the past stop him in any way. Now along with his coming four month mark we could start him on more solid foods. We aren't sure if he'll be ready for that, but he surprises us every day so we will let you know.
