Rolling Over

Josie still had trouble turning herself over a few weeks ago. Something we all take for granted: it's actually hard to do when your head is huge compared to your body, and your limbs are short and stubby. Then last week she figured out that the head can work in her favor. She can toss it over her shoulder and the momentum will get her halfway there. Here's a video of her struggling with the technique (frustration!)



...then another movie of her nailing it




I would expect her to have a huge grin of satisfaction on her face, but I guess babies are too zen and they don't gloat. This evening while we were making dinner she almost did a (more difficult) back-onto-belly roll. You go girl.

Welcome to Josie's blog! We thought this would be a good way for friends and family to easily stay up to speed on our little munchkin. This is our first posting, but we hope to keep updating frequently, so please check back often.

Today, Auntie Laura came to hang out and play. Butterfly, crab, and Mr. Sun still seem to be Josie's favorite toys- which she can enjoy even more now that she can grab and suck on them! None of us could persuade her to repeat her rolling-over trick, but she did get in some good tummy time.

Here is a video of one of her first rolls:
