Megan (Johnny's mom) and I witnessed history today. Though Griff spent the weekend teasing Tom and I with partial rollovers, he officially rolled over from his back to his front this afternoon (and managed to successfully get both arms out in front of him). Whoohoo! He is 5 months, and 17 days old. Griff has been eagerly attempting this new trick for a few weeks now. He recently mastered getting from his stomach onto his back, and over the last 2 weeks, he slowly conquered turning from his back onto his side, but the weight of his big ham legs would inevitably rock him back over. Mark the date as today was the official rollover.
It's funny, the whole process of learning to roll reminds me of that pirate ship ride at Six Flags where you swing back and forth, higher and higher, until you're dangling upside down, teetering at the top, just waiting for it to happen, then finally, the pirate ship makes it all the way around, and you scream for your life (in this case, we smiled, eagerly clapped, and in unison exclaimed "yaaaaayyyyyyy!")
P.S. Some say that as babies work on reaching developmental milestones, they can sometimes start waking up in the night. PLEASE let those people be right, as that would explain why Griff has been waking up once a night for the past few weeks. Maybe I can blame those 3am feeds on him mentally processing his rolling skills. We'll see!
